Suggestion: Search box in SVN Repo Browser

[rg.r...@gmail.com]

One feature that would be awesome to have is a search box to identify files in an SVN.

This feature would help with downloading certain files in each folder without downloading the whole folder and without having to open each sub-folders to check what files to download.

From a layman's coding perspective, this might require some sort of indexing on each individual svn server and would probably need changes done to the server side too.

Or if indexing is not needed, maybe the same system as Everything search can be used to look for the file on the app level (The app creates a database of folders and files to search when the user launches TurtoiseSVN Browser).

Not sure if it requires a lot of work, but it would be pretty handy to have.

I found this project that uses a single transaction to download the full list of files from a repository, and hence is much faster than svn list. It would be nice if the repo browser could do this and dump the result to a local file for searching.

I would like to (sort-of) revive this thread. While I am not sure exactly what the OP was asking to search, it would be quite helpful to be able to do even a text search of the filenames listed in the current view. Some of our repos have a lot of files in any given directory and often you are trying to find one based on a part of its name. This is trivial to do if I view the repo in a web browser and just find on the page. If this is an easy add, it would be a nice tool to have to stay in same tortoise "environment" so to speak.

My $0.02 -- maybe my use case is fringe ? Any others want to see this?

cheers
