./rev_grep.sh URL[@PEG_REV] regex

The PEG_REV only works in svn 1.4.0 or higher. ('svn log' supports peg
revs in 1.4.0)

rev_grep.sh
=====================
#!/bin/ksh

URL=$1
REGEX=$2

LAST_REV="n/a"

svn log -q $URL | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if /^r(\d+)/' |
while read r
do
    ##svn cat -r $r $URL | grep "$REGEX" > /dev/null
    BUFFER=`svn cat -r $r $URL | grep "$REGEX"`
    RET=$?
    if [ $RET -eq 0 ]
    then
        echo "Match in revision: $r. Removed in $LAST_REV."
        echo $BUFFER

        exit 0

    elif [ $RET -ne 1 ]
    then
        ## grep hit an error
        exit 2
    fi

    LAST_REV=$r
done
exit 1
