Searching Subversion

Hi all-

I have a repository that has thousands of files in hundreds of directories
and I need to find every file that contains a particular string. I'm pretty
sure there's nothing in Subversion directly for this kind of thing, but was
wondering if there were any other tools available that could do this, or
could search on a property, a user, or whatever. That way if I wanted to
find all the files checked in by "Fred" or have the custom property "C++" or
contain the words "foo()", I could do so. By text-searching, I'd be able to
find out which version of a file introduced a particular thing, like the
first time anyone called "foo()", etc.

If such a program doesn't exist, it seems like it'd be a fun project to add
on top of svn, because I know I'd love to have something like that. Does
anyone else agree, and know if it's already been done?

Thanks,

Ron
