SVN keeps it infinitely as long as we backup the repository properly. 
However, I prefer to svn copy/svn move files, or reintegrate the branch 
into trunk so that the history is not lost. If it's lost in your case, 
it really sucks. Maybe you would need to add some comment to the csrss 
code files specifying the branch name and revisions when it existed.

Thank you, would be cool.

Purpose of what?

Yes, it's fun, but I will spoil it saying that there are more important 
things to do first :-)
