As far as I can work out you want to revert the property change without reverting the copy. That's not possible using revert as revert applies to all changes: properties, text, conflicts, tree-changes. So revert attempts to undo the copy and that need depth infinity. There is no API to revert a subset of the changes such as just the properties. > Is there a workaround for this situation (working with the API of libsvn > 1.6.16)? Maybe manually synchronizing the properties to the BASE state? svn_wc_get_prop_diffs to get the changes followed by svn_wc_prop_set to make the changes you want. -- Philip
