If the branch has never been merged, it becomes a bit easier with `svn
log --stop-on-copy` ... which will print the log but stopping at the
point of any copy ... like the one where the branch was created.

But since svn doesn't record merge history, if you do periodic "sync"
merges, you need to record the merge revision in comments, as David
notes.
