This /can/ be automated.

In Vim, I might do:

:set autowrite
:set cindent cinoptions=>1s,e0,n0,f0,{.5s,}0,^-.5s,=.5s,t0,+1s,c3,(0,u0,:0
:grep -Rw svn_error_return subversion
qancesvn_error_trace^[gw%:cn
q_at_a@@66@@

(where ^[ is a real ctrl-[)

and it would work for 95% of the instances. I used this approach in the
past (for one of my "Fix something across the whole C codebase" commits)
and it worked nicely.

Another value for the macro would be:
qancesvn_error_trace^[lv%oj:s/^.//
q
