svn log -g lists much to many revisions.

Hi,

Using Subversion 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 svn log -g gets much to many revisions on
our 1.5.x branch.

(I reported this issue on irc a few days ago, but it was reported as fixed
in 1.5.5)

# svn log -g
<http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x%20--limit%2010>
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x --limit 10

Gives thousands and thousands of revisions.

(Last time I tried this, this really broke the log with merge function in
TortoiseSVN as it waits till all responses are available)

I expected the --limit argument to limit the number of top level results,
but for some reason the deeper levels really go to extremely old versions.
(I didn't test them, but it looks like they go back to at least r20000 on
trunk)

This is the same command without the dependency on the current HEAD revision

# svn log -g http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x@34880 -r 34880:0
--limit 10
