Mmmm. I'm possibly not using the right terms. One of the main features of a
Subversion repository is that it's the repository that's versioned rather than
the files or directories within it. Any change to anything results in a new
repository revision, so it would seem sensible to me that one could ask for a
graph of repository revisions much like one would check the changes to a
particular file. I'd expect there to be at least the head revision shown - with
the graph I posted you wouldn't know which particular branch the project results
from just by looking at the graph, and I'd be looking mostly to work out how I
got to where I am, if you see what I mean.

But I think I might've sussed it: if one were to make a tag from the trunk at
the merge point then that would result in a box being displayed in the graph.
Having a tag wouldn't be a bad thing in itself either - it documents what I did
there, so maybe the way things are done now is a blessing in disguise :)
