Hmmm... maybe we could add: --search-author --search-date --search-log --search-paths > 2. a "DOES NOT MATCH" option; Yes, something like --search-not would be nice to have. > But I didn't bother asking until I saw your email.

"Search in content of the diff" That would be doable, but it would mean that we'd have to rejuggle the logic in svn's log receiver somewhat. It would have to download the diff before displaying the log message. Currently it's doing it the other way around... Overall, I like all of your suggestions, but I don't see a need for us to implement them all for 1.8. In my mind, these are nice bite-size tasks for our issue tracker that new contributors could pick up. So I'd suggest filing a "bite-sized" issue for each of the above.
