I wonder, what exactly do you mean with that? The reason I ask is because
there is nothing in SVN that provides you a mapping from trunk to all branches
that were made off trunk. The references only point from the branch to where
it was made from ("copy from..").

Try the
[x] Include merged revisions
checkbox in TSVN's log view. If you merge, it also shows already merged
revisions with grey text.

You already know about the mergeinfo property and how merge-tracking works
with SVN. This can be used to generate a merge history, too, and quite easily
so. I'm wondering what exactly you need...
