Run 'svn log' on the object and see what last printed rev is. :-)

Really, that's just the same as running svn_fs_revisions_changed() on
an object. I suppose the server could send this "first revision" to
the client to be cached, just like "last changed revision" is cached,
and we could map a revision keyword to it, like FIRST. But I'm not
sure how often it would be used. The very first time you do a merge
from branch to branch, you'd use the FIRST value. The next time you
do a merge, you'd continue merging from whatever revision you left off
at.
