O.k. I understand.

Well at least on Windows NT and later the tools are also available.
Not as nice as the Unix tools, but available. From the CMD prompt
see the help for SET, FOR and FINDSTR, you may be surprised at what's
hidden away in the CMD tools. (Shocked might be better then suprised
when you see the syntax!) I've not seen any docs accept the built in
help, so it hit or miss if someone find the features they have need.
The NT equivalent of your command is:
svn info | findstr "^Url ^Revision"
Maybe the solution is a FAQ entry.
Q: How do I get the URL from svn info for use in a windows batch file?
A1: svn info | findstr "^Url:"
A2: The commands will place the Url: value into the variable URL
-------------- url.cmd -----------------
@for /f "usebackq tokens=1, 2*" %%i in (`svn info`) do @if "%%i" == "Url:" @set URL=%%j
@echo The URL is %URL%
