  • 0

I want to search the commit messages for a string, it’s easy to pipe svn log to a grep, but because the message and the rev are on separate lines, it’s a little more complicated.

i.e.

svn log ./ | searchSvnMessages.awk artf29999

    If you only need to search the first line of each log entry and you are using GNU grep, you can do svn log . | grep -B2 artf29999.
