Hello Nestor, I'm not sure what you mean by "the first revision" but probably the following code will help:
final SvnOperationFactory svnOperationFactory = new SvnOperationFactory(); try { final SvnLog log = svnOperationFactory.createLog(); log.setStopOnCopy(stopOnCopy); log.setLimit(1); //get only one revision (the first one) log.addRange(SvnRevisionRange.create(SVNRevision.create(1), SVNRevision.HEAD)); log.setSingleTarget(SvnTarget.fromURL(url.appendPath("path/to/file", false), SVNRevision.HEAD)); final SVNLogEntry logEntry = log.run(); final long revision = logEntry.getRevision(); System.out.println("revision = " + revision); } finally { svnOperationFactory.dispose(); } Set 'stopOnCopy' depending on your requirements: if at some revision your "targetFile" was created as a copy of some "sourceFile", should we consider that revision as the first revision or should we scan history of "sourceFile" to find the first revision. -- Dmitry Pavlenko, TMate Software, http://subgit.com/ - git-svn bridge > Hi > > I'm trying to get the first revision of the files I'm extracting using > SVNKit 1.8.10.
