Thank you for the response. I just did a test, svn_fs_node_created_rev() works great!

I think the first sentence of the following docstring is wrong: /** Set @a *revision to the revision in which @a path under @a root was * created. Use @a pool for any temporary allocations. @a *revision will * be set to #SVN_INVALID_REVNUM for uncommitted nodes (i.e. modified nodes * under a transaction root). Note that the root of an unmodified transaction * is not itself considered to be modified; in that case, return the revision * upon which the transaction was based. */ svn_error_t * svn_fs_node_created_rev(svn_revnum_t *revision, It sounds as though it gives the answer to `svn log --stop-on-copy --limit=1 -r 0:HEAD path@root`, but in fact it gives the "Last Changed Revision" of path@root.
