RE: node_id for 'create' operations being "_0" instead of the new node's id?

Thanks a lot for your quick reply!

This is pretty much as I suspected, only it seems that that rewrite
isn't working correctly in my case. What is very strange, though,
is that svn_fs_node_id and svn_fs_paths_changed return different IDs;
which would seem to imply that something weirder than a rewrite,
failed or not, is going on (as one would expect only one of the IDs
to survive, in either case).

I'm assuming this applies to comparing IDs from pending transactions,
since those IDs aren't to survive beyond the scope of their
transactions.

Damn. Thanks a lot for trying, though. Since I'm pretty much testing
stuff right now, I think I'll just delete the repository and start
over, and see if it gets any better.

For the record, in the meantime I've implemented a workaround which
seems to work pretty well. When using svn_fs_paths_changed, I'm
simply checking for each node-rev if they correspond to a create
operation, and just retrieving its ID via svn_fs_node_id if that's
the case. Something like this:

if(change->change_kind==svn_fs_path_change_add)
{
  change->node_rev_id=NULL;
  SVN_ERR(svn_fs_node_id(&(change->node_rev_id),root,path,pool));
}

This seems to be working just fine, and I'm assuming doesn't generate
a significant overhead, so I'm ready to call it done if nobody
else is having this problem.

Thanks a lot for your time and help. :)
