When I create a new branch I add an svn:property, such as "base-tag", to the new branch with a reference to the old branch. Then all you need to do on a given branch is "svn propget base-tag <BRANCH_URL>" It's a manual process to add it, but I find it saves a lot of time (and question answering) later.
