Not exactly. It would give you "Revision: 12345", not "12345".

I think it would be nice if 'svn info' supported a "key" option, so:

    svn info --key Revision $URL
    12345

(or --name, or --whatever).

Then we'd also have:

    svn info --key "Working Copy Root Path" some/path
    C:\MyWorkingCopy

Perhaps even have key aliases, and/or multiple keys:

    svn info --key LCR,LCA,LCD $PATH
    5021

Mmmmmm, just dreaming ...
