David, I was going through my mailbox looking for undone stuff, and
found this. I'm still happy to replace search-svnlog.pl, but there is
one problem: it turns out that lines of 72 hyphens in log messages do
exist in the wild. I know this from experience now, because I
encountered *multiple* such log messages in Subversion's own
repository during a log message sweep.

So I think the parsing of the "N lines" portion of the header should
be considerede mandatory after all. Would you be willing to implement
that?
