Roughly:

for rev in 1 .. 2900:
   author = svn propget svn:author --revprop svn://repo/eod -r$rev
   if author == "foo":
     author = "bar"
   svn propset svn:author $author --revprop svn://repo/eod -r$rev

But you've got to have enabled (an at least empty) prerevprop hook 
script first (check the svn book).
