As far as I understand there's no way to _create_ history that doesn't
exist in Svn. So you cannot create a relation between master/Submodule and
brancha/submodule if it wasn't svn cp'ed, but instead was svn add'ed.
However in master's history you should see those files already and that
they were added.

To keep the history of brancha/submodule you'll have to create a separate
repository.
