You may be running into this (quoting from svn_fs_contents_changed()'s docstring): * @note svn_fs_contents_changed() was not designed to be used to detect * when two files have different content, but really to detect when the * contents of a given file have changed across two points in its history. * For the purposes of preserving accurate history, certain bits of code * (such as the repository dump code) need to care about this distinction. * For example, it's not an error from the FS API point of view to call * svn_fs_apply_textdelta() and explicitly set a file's contents to exactly * what they were before the edit was made. We have a pair of functions * that can answer both of these questions, svn_fs_contents_changed() and * svn_fs_contents_different(). See issue 4598 for more details. Or maybe that revision was created by a pre-1.0 version of Subversion that had some bug or another.
