RE: Branch changes

Thanks Andrew. That is an even better way to get the version than the way I found.

Unless, of course, you renamed your branch, e.g. 'svn mv rel-1.2 rel-2.0', or if you renamed/moved the parent directory components, e.g. 'svn mv /branches /project1/branches' in which case you will need to run the 'svn log --stop-on-copy -r REV-1' iteratively (where 'REV-1' is the revision returned by --stop-on-copy minus 1,) until you get to the "real" branch point.
/pedantic

Also, if you want 'svn log --stop-on-copy' to return just a single revision, you can use --limit thusly:
    svn log -v -r1:HEAD --stop-on-copy --limit 1 ^/branches/my_branch
