parent directory is referenced by "svn info"?

Hello,

I am confused and frustrated by this:

     $ pwd
     /home/user/nodes/dev_5_main

     $ svn info /home/user/nodes/dev_5_main
     svn: '/home/user/nodes' is not a working copy

     $ svn info .
     Path: .
     URL: svn+ssh://user@10.120.11.5/COE/branches/dev_5_main
     Repository Root: svn+ssh://user@10.120.11.5/COE
     Repository UUID: (stuff)
     Revision: 2249
     Node Kind: directory
     Schedule: normal
     Last Changed Author: developer
     Last Changed Rev: 2241
     Last Changed Date: 2016-02-24 06:57:03 +0100 (Wed, 24 Feb 2016)

Specifying the "current working directory" with a "." yields the
information I want, but using an absolute path requires accessing the
directory above? This is very problematic for my script. Is there a
way out?
