The only way I can think of is that you `grep` the verbose log messages for
the adding of the directory. Any revision number in the lifetime of
one 'incarnation' of that dirname is good enough for use as a peg revision
and because all have to be created, i.e. added, you should look for the
adding revision.

You didn't told us what front-end or OS you are using. That and your email
headers let me guess that you are working with MS Windows, right?
Anyway, under an Unix-like OS (Do you have cygwin?) the quick way would be to
run a command like this:

svn log -v | grep -e '^r' -e '^ A /trunk/pdir/dir$' | less

or in perl with nicer output

svn log -v | perl -ne '/^r(\d+) \|/ && ($r = $1); m{^ A /trunk/bin/svn$} &&
print "Rev: $r\n"'

but there are also better scripting solutions (Using the --xml switch and
XML::Simple, ...)

This functionality would be also a nice feature for a graphical front-end like
TortoiseSVN.

I hope this helps you,
Martin
