So, you need svn_fs_closest_copy(), but via the RA layers.

Hrm. This seems (to me, at first glance) like a stab in the dark which
falls over rather quickly in some common scenarios, such as branching for
code re-organization, where suddenly a directory's immediately copy/move
source path and revision haven't anything to do with the branch creation.

Maybe you can explain the full vision here a bit?
