Addendum: svn log --search is quite a lot faster, has minimal server side load, and has the added benefit of searching the entire commit message as an entity vs grep being line-oriented. Of course, nothing is as fast as querying a local file, but I'm just mentioning it for completeness, as the --search option to log is often overlooked.
