Incorrect assumption. If you do 'svn log' on a file, it will only list
the revisions in which a change occurred.
You can write your script pretty much the same way you did it with CVS.
Use 'svn log -q foo.java' to get the revisions to dump. Use 'svn export
-r' or 'svn cat -r' to dump files by revision. Grep the exported file
or text stream.
Alternatively, you could run 'svn diff' for each revision and grep for
the word that way.
