Suppose you have a large code base, and you just want to search for a program name, without downloading the codebase to your local disk. If the naming conventions are hierarchical, you can usually use the “repo-browser”, for example that comes with Tortoise-SVN. But if a program is named differently from the hierarchical directory structure, finding a program can be quite a search.
At first, I though “svnlookup” was the answer, but that can only be run on the server. Specifying the server URL on this command

This seems to be what I was looking for:
For Windows without Grep command:
svn list -R https://subversion-repo/subfolder | findstr filename
or if you have a “grep” command:
svn list -R https://subversion-repo/subfolder | grep filename
To search just the “Trunk” if you have grep command:
svn list -R https://subversion-repo/subfolder | grep Trunk.*filename
It can take several minutes to run.
