Re: best way to get "Last Changed Rev:" without a checkout

Sorry, my mistake, I meant to write

    svn log --strict --incremental TAG_URL

Ie. "--" instead of '-'. Only the line of '-' characters after the log message
is removed. (An insignificant detail, really.) The below is indeed better when
you're running 0.34.0. (I was/am using 0.32.1 which doesn't have the
--stop-on-copy switch.)

A simple regexp like "/r(\d+)/" should do the trick.

But wouldn't its behaviour then be weirdly different from the "regular" ls
utility? Better if "svn info" supported URLs. BTW, as "svn ls" works today, I
don't think using it solves the same problem. If you've got hundreds of tags,
then that's a lot of wasted bytes to transfer just to get one revision number.
(Then again, in the big picture, it's probably still an insignificant amount.
