Can you provide a recipe for this behavior? The --stop-on-copy option
should only apply when the target of the log operation was the thing
that got copied. In other words, if you do:

   svn copy trunk branches/foo
   ...
   svn copy trunk/junk branches/foo/junk
   ...
   svn log --stop-on-copy branches/foo

Your log output should continue past the copy of the thing *into* your
branch, and stop with the copy that created your branch. If you've
found an instance where this is not happening correctly, please try to
come up with a reproducible recipe, because that is a bug.
