The duplicate removal filter for -g can suppress revisions that are expected to
be sent later, but if those revisions are also suppressed by --limit then they
do not appear in the output.
The script below creates a repository, makes a branch and merges it back in r8.
This command doesn't show any of the merged revisions:
$ svn log -qg --limit 1 file://`pwd`/repo
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r8 | pm | 2011-07-20 12:19:11 +0100 (Wed, 20 Jul 2011)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
But running it on a path deeper inside the repository does:
$ svn log -qg --limit 1 file://`pwd`/repo/A
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r8 | pm | 2011-07-20 12:19:11 +0100 (Wed, 20 Jul 2011)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r7 | pm | 2011-07-20 12:19:08 +0100 (Wed, 20 Jul 2011)
Merged via: r8
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r5 | pm | 2011-07-20 12:19:05 +0100 (Wed, 20 Jul 2011)
Merged via: r8
