Thanks, that makes sense. Here is another question. How to get the latest revision id for a node? I see the svnlook is calling svn_fs_node_id() to get node id, but couldn't find a reference to get the latest revision of id for a node.

We use transactions to build up tree and content changes, then commit them (which is a complex process) to create new revisions. At any time, there can be an number of open transactions; but only one revision at a time can be committed. -- Brane On 26.11.2015 16:01, Ren Wang wrote: > BTW, what's transaction property?
