You mean above trunk level? I don't think that will work because the
revision graph only picks up branches made in the level that you are
graphing.

Correct. Merging won't show up at all because it is a change to your
working copy. You are taking the difference between two points and
applying that diff to your WC. You don't actually create any new
branches.

The revision graph is something of an incomplete feature, because
subversion doesn't supply all the information needed to give the full
picture. In fact it doesn't even supply enough information to do what
the rev graph already does, so there is a bit of guessing going on
internally.
