My 2 cents on this would be that having "svn ls --pattern" and "svn log --search" which only differ in terms of case sensitivity have a chance of being confusing for the users. Perhaps, a slightly better way would be to keep the case-insensitive behavior by default, but add a "--case-sensitive" switch to handle the cases where it's required? That is, svn ls --search svn ls --search --case-sensitive Regards, Evgeny Kotkov
