Yeah, I used to do that under RCS using the ordinary grep...

I see someone gave a pythonic way of doing it. That's probably better than the shell script I wrote to do it. I don't think I still have that around, but it went something like this:

for version_num in `svn -q log <fname> | grep the version numbers | cut the version numbers out` ; \
   do echo $version_num ; \
   svn cat -$version_num <fname> | grep <my_string> ; \
   done
