Find revision in trunk that a branch was created from

Solution 1:

From the command line, the --stop-on-copy flag can be used to help show you where you copied a branch from:

svn log --stop-on-copy --verbose --limit 1 -r0:HEAD ^/branches/feature

(where feature is the name of your branch)

The last line of will say something like this:

Changed paths:
   A /branches/feature (from /trunk:1234)

Perhaps a little bit late but.

If you're currently in the branch you can run:

svn log -r 1:HEAD --limit 1 --stop-on-copy

It displays the first revision of the branch i.e. when you created it.
