svnsearch is a command-line utility for searching through Subversion repository history using exact text or regular expressions.
It is intended for Linux users who work with SVN repositories and want a way to inspect past changes with output and options that feel similar to `svn log`. The program can be useful when tracking when a string or pattern first appeared in a repository’s history.
This is free and open source software.
