The graph contains no cycles (as long as Subversion does not track
merges), so it is a tree, not a graph. The word "revision" is a total
red herring.

A copy creates a descendant of an ancestor, which makes it tempting to
call this a "family tree", but I worry that that term isn't intuitive
enough.

"Copy history tree" seems more appropriate. "Copy ancestry" also fits
the bill. To avoid confusion with "copy" as a verb or as a noun,
consider menu items like "View copy history tree" or "View copy
ancestry".
