RE: RE: Searching within files

There is another search that source safe had that would be nice too, the status search. In source safe, it was common to search for files that a user had checked out. It would be nice to also search for all files and folders that a specific user has a lock on in subversion. (Of course there may be another way to do this, I'm just not aware of it.)

Searching the repository is a common request from visual source safe users making the switch to subversion.

Thanks,

Shawn

It's pretty simple. We just want to be able to do simple things like find every place that calls a certain method. We have no reason to look at anything but the latest revision. The repository is way too large to get the entire thing as a working copy.

In source safe, you could pick a branch, and it would recursively search in all files and folders. It was extremely slow, but that's expected because of the sheer volume.

We also like to be able to search for a certain filename using wildcards if necessary.

That's really the extent of it. Nothing fancy. A client tool could do it easily in theory. It would ask for a subversion export and then watch the output stream for what is being searched for.

Thanks,
Jason

Also, the discussion has just started on the dev list about implementing the "svn find" functionality. Maybe you could offer some "user perspective".

Cheers,
