Unless, of course, you renamed your branch, e.g. 'svn mv rel-1.2 rel-2.0', or
if you renamed/moved the parent directory components, e.g. 'svn mv /branches
/project1/branches' in which case you will need to run the 'svn log
--stop-on-copy -r REV-1' iteratively (where 'REV-1' is the revision returned by
--stop-on-copy minus 1,) until you get to the "real" branch point.
/pedantic
Also, if you want 'svn log --stop-on-copy' to return just a single revision,
you can use --limit thusly:
svn log -v -r1:HEAD --stop-on-copy --limit 1 ^/branches/my_branch
