I don't know of a built-in way to do that. Subversion offers language
bindings for Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java and other languages, and
writing a script in one of those languages using those bindings may
run significantly faster than parsing output at the command line.

The documentation should say that svnlook does not work with any URLs
at all and requires a local filesystem path, as in

svnlook ... /path/to/repository
