Finding the version of a remote server

svnsync is a nice tool, but it only works on 1.4 servers -- and there
are a lot of repositories out there running 1.3 or earlier. If the
repository is being served up over HTTP (or HTTPS), I can just point
my browser at it and look at the version number reported. But for
svn:// or svn+ssh:// URL's, I don't know how to find out the version
number of the remote server. Which means I have to jump through
multiple hoops to set up svnsync: create local repos, set up its
pre-revprop-change hook, svnsync init, and then svnsync sync -- and
only at that point do I find out that the remote repos isn't 1.4 and I
can't do it.

Is there some way to get the version of a remote server via some
command like "svn info"?
