Something like what the attached script does?

$ svnorigin.sh http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.6.4
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.6.x:38063
$ svnorigin.sh http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.6.x
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk:35887
$

I wasn't sure what you meant by this. Did you mean that, in the above

from trunk?
