In that case, the SVN help message is wrong:

$ svn help ls
list (ls): List directory entries in the repository.
usage: list [TARGET[@REV]...]

  List each TARGET file and the contents of each TARGET directory as
  they exist in the repository. If TARGET is a working copy path, the
  corresponding repository URL will be used. If specified, REV determines
  in which revision the target is first looked up.

  The default TARGET is '.', meaning the repository URL of the current
  working directory.

Also, I can see the network activity light when I try svn ls, and I
get prompted for a password for some repositories that require
authentication even for read access.
