I don't think svn has this functionality out of the box, but it looks like http://svn-search.sourceforge.net/ offers it, but I'm not 100% sure. Git appears to have it, I believe git log -S does this: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-log.html This man page of just a single git command is a perfect example showing that while git is extremely powerful it is also very complicated. For a comparison, this is svn log: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.svn.c.log.html and cvs log: http://www-e815.fnal.gov/webspace/cvs/commands.html#log -- Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda@takeda.tk All wiyht.
