Does two new things; this:

$ svn ls -v
1847281 stsp Nov 23 16:04 ./
1716820 rhuijben 175 Nov 27 2015 .editorconfig
1659509 rhuijben 3091 Feb 13 2015 .ycm_extra_conf.py

And this:

$ svn ls --verbose --human-readable

1716820 rhuijben 175B Nov 27 2015 .editorconfig

And for example, once GitHub is fixed, this:

$ svn ls -vH https://github.com/apache/httpd/trunk
