Yes, +1 to that. Making svn "core" be able to handle deleted items better (i.e. find them and do "the right thing") would be a very useful enhancement, and would exactly suit my needs (asking the log for a file that you know was once there, just to find out when it was deleted and who did it). Allowing for arbitrary searches (filenames in any path/revision, or even file content) is a much larger beast, in the realm of indexes, search engines, ... like supose. Johan
