Is there a way to search the Subversion repository of a project hosted on SourceForge? I see that I can Browse Commits/Files but I'd like to perform a full text search. If no such feature exist, is there a workaround like a way to export the entire SVN repo (I'm not the project owner)?

An example, I'm a user (not project owner) trying to find changes involving the ORB_ID_STRING literal on the omniORB project.

I unsuccessfully attempted to answer this question by: searching stackoverflow, searching using various Google keywords like "sourceforge how to search SVN". I also submitted this SourceForge support ticket: https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/20997/.

  • did you try svnsearcher? it used to be a Java binary with an indexer and a client or webapplication for then searching into it. If you are using VisualSVNServer there already is a search bar in it. – Siddharth Kaul Jul 14 '20 at 15:56

Here is the reply I got from SourceForge Support on Monday July 20, 2020:

Dave Brondsema - Hello,

We do not currently offer an option to search the full text of a code repository. You can download the repository yourself though and do a search yourself. The easiest option is to use the "Download Snapshot" link in the upper right of a code repository. Note: you probably want to be in the "trunk" folder first or it will be a very large download including copies of all the branches and tagged versions of the code. Alternatively, you can install SVN on your computer and do an SVN checkout of the repository. Sincerely, SourceForge Support
