You can put the information in one or more files or use the property feature
of SVN to store the information in the branch dir.
Then after you merged or created an other branch you revert this file(s)
before you commit the changes, e.g
# Merging branch to trunk:
$ cd <trunk working dir>
$ svn merge -rX:Y url://repos/branches/mybranch
$ svn revert <branch info files>
$ svn commit
best,
