Yes, perhaps something like "svn log --stop-on-copy"? (For those of us reformed 
svn users.)

For those of you who haven't had the misfortune of using svn, a "copy" 
operation creates a new branch in the repository. It's useful for viewing what 
changes have been made on this branch. For hg, maybe --stop-at-branch or some 
such would be a good name. This would additionally imply --follow.
