In our build system we generate the list of revision numbers that are
in 1.0.1 but not in 1.0.0 by asking svn for the "revisions that are
eligible for merging from 1.0.1 to 1.0.0" (i.e. anything that's in
1.0.1 that can sensibly be merged into 1.0.0). I.e.:
svn mergeinfo --show-revs=eligible $URL/1.0.1 $URL/1.0.0
Can you give that a try?
