Beginning with Subversion 1.8, `svn info` prints repository-relative
URLs. See Subversion 1.8 Release Notes entry at
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#svn-info.

For example, if you run `svn info` at the root of the repository, you'll see
[[[
...
Relative URL: ^/
Repository Root: https://svn.example.com/svn/TestRepo
...
]]]

If you run `svn info` in a subtree, you'll see

[[[
...
Relative URL: ^/TestProject/trunk
Repository Root: https://svn.example.com/svn/TestRepo
...
]]]
