Just thinking outloud here. If one is interested in preserving the
log history between the personal branch and the main, could you not
just "merge" outside of SVN, from the personal branch to the trunk and
then commit the trunk?

For example: I make my personal branch and work in that for a while.
When I want to put my personal branch into the trunk, I use something
like Araxis Merge/WinMerge/KDiff three and merge my changes from my
personal branch to the trunk. Then I do a commit on the trunk.

Sounds kind of convoluted, but I guess it allows you to keep your log
history on the trunk, does it no?
