Your mail is misdirected: this list is for discussion around the development
*of* Subversion, not any ol' development *atop* Subversion.

That said, if all you want to do is display the youngest revision number
from a repository, you should consider using svn_ra_get_latest_revnum

   /**
    * Get the latest revision number from the repository of @a session.
    *
    * Use @a pool for memory allocation.
    *
    * @since New in 1.2.
    */
   svn_error_t *svn_ra_get_latest_revnum(svn_ra_session_t *session,
                                         svn_revnum_t *latest_revnum,
                                         apr_pool_t *pool);

You can use the example program svnput.c[1] to see how to do this in C --
not sure what the C++ API looks like around this area. (svnput.c does more
than what you are asking for, but would work as an example.)
