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_at_root`, but in fact it gives the "Last Changed
Revision" of path_at_root.

I think we need at least this patch:

    Index: subversion/include/svn_fs.h
    ===================================================================
    --- subversion/include/svn_fs.h (revision 1717002)

I didn't check the sibling functions for analogous docstring bugs.

I can't commit this myself due to an outstanding issue with my apache
account :-(

Cheers,
