How about something like this? Just call it in a loop until it reaches
the end of the file...

    $ cat foo.vim
    [[[
    call search(')\n{') " exclude structs/enums
    + " advance line
    let fn_lineno = search('\i*\ze(', 'bn')
    let funcname = matchstr(getline(fn_lineno), '\i*\ze(')
    normal! o
    call setline('.', printf('SVN_DBG(("%s()\\n")); {', funcname))
    /^}/ s/^/}/
    ]]]

(you can call it via ":source foo.vim" inside 'vim main.c')

Okay.

I think you should try to understand the high-level structure of the
code before just binary-searching the call stack. For instance, since
you say the slowdown is on the server, you could probably start right in
libsvn_repos... (since libsvn_ra_local is just a thin wrapper)

Ditto for skipping subversion/svn/ entirely; if the issue is not
client-specific, you can start right in svn_client_commit5().

You're welcome.
