I think he wants to search for file content, not for a commit message.
So for example "Was our supersecret password <admin1234> ever commited
to code anywhere?"
I do not think svn has a build in function to do that easily/fast. You
can write a script that counts up, gets the diff from svn for that
revision and run grep or awk on it. Might take ages.
There are (paid) thirdparty tools whicht can index your repository and
provide fast search (fisheye for example)
Building an index also can take ages.

Is there a recommended way to do a full text search of commits that include
changed text. For example if I wanted “svn log” to show me all of that commits
that have an added or deleted line that contains “foo”, is that possible? Git
has similar functionality in “git log -S foo”
Using “svn diff -r:HEAD | grep foo” gets me close but that just gives me the
lines that changed and not the commit that they changed.
