Hmmm... maybe we could add:

  --search-author
  --search-date
  --search-log
  --search-paths

Yes, something like --search-not would be nice to have.

Indeed.

That would be doable, but it would mean that we'd have to rejuggle
the logic in svn's log receiver somewhat. It would have to download
the diff before displaying the log message. Currently it's doing it
the other way around...

Overall, I like all of your suggestions, but I don't see a need for
us to implement them all for 1.8. In my mind, these are nice bite-size
tasks for our issue tracker that new contributors could pick up.
So I'd suggest filing a "bite-sized" issue for each of the above.
