Hm, I'm not a fan of the option name "--no-stat". Perhaps this skips
"stat's", but does even more work by reading and checksumming every
file? A name like "--ignore-text-mods" or some such (that you
suggested elsethread) sounds better to me. Or "--metadata-only" or
something like that?
OTOH, I also like Julian's suggestion to piggy-back on "svn info
--x-viewspec". Or perhaps "svn info" should grow a "--summarize"
option which would give similar output to svnversion? Just thinking
out loud here ...

I have no informed opinion about this. Though ISTR that there were
other recent discussions on dev@ surrounding changelists, like the one
started here:
https://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2019-11/0037.shtml
I'd prefer these various bits to be laid together, so we can come up
with a more general improvement, with a clear and consistent UI for
changelists, which also covers your use case.
