Ineffective? Compared to what? At the most, it resolves the problem in
log(number of revs) queries, which is always a small number.

You can't discover the rev that introduced a particular text change in one
query, either.

That sounds like an entirely different problem -- if you have the log
history of a file, which gives the revs in which it changed, svn diff will
display the property changes in any given rev or range of revs, or you can
use svn propget to get the before and after values.
