Thanks Johan. But since there is only a recommendation to create your
branches at ^/branches you could never list all branches (except with
browsing the full log, which is very expensive - especially for big
projects).

I'm just working on a small app to list the revision graph for a
selected folder. If the selected folder is in the trunk, I have no
(clean) chance to find it's branches.

I can guess, that the branches are located in "echo URL | sed
's/trunk.*/branches/" and check relative path there - but what if the
folder was deleted/renamed in this branch? I have to find the
"copy/branch revision" and receive their log history. Each access of the
SVN repository of googlecode takes about 2-3 seconds, this means that
many requests take some time :/

What happens if some stupid guy names the "trunk" as "main line" or
translates the branch-folder into German: "zweige" :)
