It is not that simple. You can have multiple server locations withineven a single HTTP server let alone multiple locations within thefilesystem. The svn+ssh:// method is really filesystem specific and thereis no good way to enumerate that without basically including the wholefilesystem as a repository can be placed most anywhere (and thatalso is system specific - Windows has drive letter based stuff,Unix has the unified directory tree but parts may be "special", etc)
If you don't know where the repository is, maybe you should not beusing it or you should read the page/readme/etc that points you atit. This is a generally and specifically hard problem with minimalbenefit. (Again, the one "easy" form is the HTTP/dav case and thatis also where it is easiest to make an automatic external solution.)
