Each of these more or less corresponds to how 'ls' itself operates,
except that 'ls' returns the directory on a seperate line from the files
contained within the directory (which is slightly more scriptable
because that line has a trailing colon) and the files are then tab
delimited. And even then, the directories are always listed relative to
the current folder:

        $ ls -R ident
        ident:
        geoip p0f

vs

        $ svn ls -R ident
        geoip
        p0f
        
Perhaps if 'svn ls' grew a '-p' option like most 'ls' implementations:

        -p, --file-type
               append indicator (one of /=@|) to entries

that would help your needs. But I think anything that would change 'svn
ls -R' is not going to be acceptable (the current output is part of the
API), at least not until 2.0.
