It just occurred to me, there is also this trick that might get you
what you want:
svn mergeinfo --show-revs eligible --log -v .@HEAD .
This lists the "revisions that are eligible for merging" between
'.@HEAD' (HEAD revision of the current working directory) and '.'. The
'--log' and '-v' options extend the output beyond merely listing the
revision numbers, to also include the verbose log info.
There is a slight possibility that this might be wonky, if someone
messed with merge tracking (i.e. manipulated the svn:mergeinfo
property) or if revisions from the own "natural history" have been
reverse merged by someone else between your BASE and the HEAD revision
(like in the "Undoing Changes" section in the svn book [1]). But if
you can live with that, I think it's quite elegant :-).
