Here's a little command-line yuckiness to let me see what was merged in
those last 10 revisions (by see whatever revision was 11 changes ago,
diffing between that revision and HEAD, and grepping for the propdiff output
that shows merges):

$ svn diff -`svn log http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x --limit
11 | grep -E '^r[0-9]+ ' | tail -1 | cut -f1 -d ' '`:HEAD
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x | grep ' Merged'

The very first line of output may explain what you're seeing:

   Merged /trunk/www/images/subversion-diagram.png:r2-27629,...

So, it would not surprise me to see revisions as old as r2 in log -g output
for this branch's last 10 revisions.
