Just the revision(s) is(are) obtainable with the svnversion command.
The rest is quite easy with standard shell parsing tools.
$ svn info | grep '^Repository Root:'
Repository Root: http://example/svn
Or you can parse it with any XML tool of your choice.

svn info provides you with the full URL and the repository URL. From
this you can deduce the path within the repository. Certainly finding
the scheme is easy. I'm not sure how your hypothetical --path-within-
repository differs from --directory (is --directory just `basename
$PATH_WITHIN_REPOSITORY`?) As for --filename, if you call svn info on
a file, you get a line that lists the name. So I think svn info
already provides all the info you want.
$ svn info http://example/svn/vendor/pma/current/index.php
Path: index.php
Name: index.php
URL: http://example/svn/vendor/pma/current/index.php
Repository Root: http://example/svn
Repository UUID: [snip]
Revision: 214
Node Kind: file
Last Changed Author: rschmidt
Last Changed Rev: 206
Last Changed Date: 2006-09-28 21:27:44 -0500 (Thu, 28 Sep 2006)
$ svn --version | head -n 1
svn, version 1.4.0 (r21228)
The above all applies to the svn command when working with a working
copy or a repository URL. Not sure how this would apply to svnlook.
