Sorry, I forgot a bit:

$ svn log http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x/ --stop-on-
copy -r 1:HEAD --limit 1 -v
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r29081 | hwright | 2008-01-30 12:01:24 -0600 (Wed, 30 Jan 2008) | 2
lines
Changed paths:
    A /branches/1.5.x (from /trunk:29080)

Create the release branch for release 1.5.0.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You see, with the -v flag, the log furthermore tells us that the
1.5.x branch was copied from r29080 of trunk. That's the information
you probably really wanted.
