Doing this inside our client code would be significantly easier, because that code has access to the svn_ra_get_deleted_rev() API.
/**
* Given @a path at revision @a peg_revision, set @a *revision_deleted to the
* revision @a path was first deleted, within the inclusive revision range
* defined by @a peg_revision and @a end_revision. @a path is relative
* to the URL in @a session.
*
* If @a path does not exist at @a peg_revision or was not deleted within
* the specified range, then set @a *revision_deleted to @c SVN_INVALID_REVNUM.
* If @a peg_revision or @a end_revision are invalid or if @a peg_revision is
* greater than @a end_revision, then return @c SVN_ERR_CLIENT_BAD_REVISION.
*
* Use @a pool for all allocations.
*
* @since New in 1.6.
