Re: Which branches this file belong to?

It's disappointing that Subversion doesn't provide for you to see all
future revisions of a given URL@revision across copies/moves as well
as it's past revisions.

I think it's pretty tough to argue that such a feature isn't a useful
SCM tracking facility (albeit far from the highest value feature an
SCM tool might offer).

On the other hand, while I wouldn't expect to have to hack together a
tool to perform such a function, I also wouldn't expect it to be
highly performant if the book-keeping needed would otherwise harm the
performance of higher demand functionality.
