Maybe we should add something like
  svn info --only-list-items-with-ambient-depth-lower-than-infinity

Can't think of a better name right now...

  svn info --show-shallow-subtrees, maybe?

This would suppress the usual output, and just list the relpaths of
these nodes and their ambient depths.

See also http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3910
which is about making 'svn status' show this information.
If svn info had a better way to show this information we don't need
status to do it.
