determine latest repo revision?

hi,

given an arbitrary svn url and the 'svn' commandline client,

a) what is an efficient algorithm/way to determine the latest
   revision of the whole repository?

b) how to determine if URL points to a file or a directory?

c) obtain the base url of the underlying repository

Currently i am trying 'svn ls -v' and traversing up the
url path but it's slow and somehwat fragile.

thanks,

    holger
