Did you mean svn://url/branches/x above? Something seemed off with your
revision numbers in the original post.

I take it you want to pass a URL to the repository and have it return
the revision ranges that the URL was valid. For example...

svn <command> svn://url/trunk [-rX:Y]
1:HEAD

That is assuming the trunk was part of the first import. I believe
there is nothing in revision zero so it should never be a peg revision.

svn log -v -r500:1000 svn://url/branches/ | grep x

This command shows you if the URL you are looking for existed between
r500 and 1000 as a child of the branches directory. There is also the
--stop-on-copy flag for finding when a branch was made.

Then you need to dig though the logs -- which isn't that hard, just
search for the URL with a text editor.

A nice little program could be written with the python or perl bindings
if you so feel the need. ;)

Cheers,
Chris
