SYNOPSIS
       SVK::Log::Filter::Grep - search log messages for a given pattern

DESCRIPTION
       The Grep filter requires a single Perl pattern (regular expression) as
       its argument.  The pattern is then applied to the svn:log property of
       each revision it receives.  If the pattern matches, the revision is
       allowed to continue down the pipeline.  If the pattern fails to match,
       the pipeline immediately skips to the next revision.

       The pattern is applied with the /i modifier (case insensitivity).  If
       you want case-sensitivity or other modifications to the behavior of
       your pattern, you must use the "(?imsx-imsx)" extended pattern (see
       "perldoc perlre" for details).  For example, to search for log messages
       that match exactly the characters "foo" you might use

           svk log -filter "grep (?-i)foo"

       However, to search for "foo" without regards for case, one might try

           svk log -filter "grep foo"

       The result of any capturing parentheses inside the pattern are nnoott
       available.  If demand dictates, the Grep filter could be modified to
       place the captured value somewhere in the stash for other filters to
       access.

       If the pattern contains a pipe character ('|'), it must be escaped by
       preceding it with a '\' character.  Otherwise, the portion of the
       pattern after the pipe character is interpreted as the name of a log
       filter.

       Grep leaves all properties and the stash intact.
