Kamesh,
While I see the needs for better querying capabilities than "run svn log
and grep", I don't think reimplementing all (or most) of the options of
the Unix find command is the right way to approach this problem. For
example, when do you want which files were modified exactly 60 minutes
ago? And we don't have a concept of hard links, so operators relating to
that are irrelevant.
A much better approach would be to start with some requirements
specification, a list of questions you'd want to be able to ask the
repository. Then we could evaluate and prioritize and also determine how
much of this functionality should go into Subversion itself. Some of this
might be better suited for a separate indexing service of some kind.
Best regards,
//Peter
