By "fuzzy searching" I mean filtering a list of names by a specific pattern. For example, tools like fzf will do a search in a filesystem directory. There is a similar thing in the VisualSVN web interface (quick matches/jump to list). TortoiseSVN log browser allows filtering log messages the same way. I didn't know that 'svn list' supports server-side filtering. I think it would be useful here. Thank you for mentioning that! > > > I'm +100 for this idea, however I won't add much help myself.
