You can use --stop-on-copy to determine not only the most recent copy,
but also the one before that (and so on), using peg revisions. You'd
just have to invoke svn multiple times iteratively until you hit the
right copy operation.

The history / location segments APIs should be able to answer this
question in one invocation, but I don't think they're exposed by the
cmdline client.
