How to search SVN repository for a file when I'm not sure where I put it?
- by Chris Thornton
Co-worker is sure he checked in a file: foo_oustanding.dpr but isn't sure when/where (we have lots of "tools" and "utility" ancillary branches, lots of project branches, etc..
I need a way to search the entire repository for this file. I could check the whole source tree out to my HD, but that would take several hours. Is there a faster way? I tried the Repo Browser (Tortoise) and it didn't seem to have a search. I also thought about dumping the log, from the beginning of time. But that seemed silly.
I have, at my disposal:
Tortoise SVN 1.6
Subversion 1.5.6 running on Apache
It runs on a Windows 2003 server.
Remote Desktop access to the server, with admin rights.
Thanks for any ideas.
