I'm currently trying to document these strange edge cases as part of an ongoing effort to add branch information on top of svn-fe's output. Would you mind taking a look at [1] and letting me know if it's an understandable description of your problem? Improvements and other edge cases are very much welcome, and I hope to have something in the coming months that tackles these issues. - Andrew [1]https://github.com/andrew-sayers/SVN-Branching-Language/blob/master/t/advanced/subproject_branch.sh
