svn log search for specific description

Is there a way to investigate for a description on svn log, like:

svn log | grep "desc"

that also return revision number, user and not just the description string?

Since Subversion 1.8, there's an option --search, so you would just do:

svn log --search desc

Here's a link to the corresponding release notes.

If you're stuck with an older version of Subversion, the following should help in most cases (except if the log messages span multiple lines - adjust the "before" parameter as needed):

svn log | grep -B3 desc
