Hello Ivan,

Update: This bug was introduced in r1823327.

I don't have a fix yet but at least we know where it is now.

The last command in your reproduction script:
'svn info "file://$REPO/dir/file"@1'
works correctly in r1823326, fails in r1823327:

[[[

$ svn log -r 1823327
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1823327 | julianfoad | 2018-02-06 08:44:17 -0500 (Tue, 06 Feb 2018) | 21
lines

Performance: Make the 'info' command fast on old repository revisions.

The svn_client_info4() API reports the lock status of the given URL (at
head, implicitly) if that is the same resource as the given URL and
revision. The 'same resource' check was inefficient, searching history
forwards from the given revision up to head.

The problem was present even when a peg revision is specified and even when
the 'svn info --show-item=x' option is used. (The 'show-item' filtering is
not performed in the library.)

Example: 'svn info https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion@850000'
took 13s before and 2s after this change.

See http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/svn-dev?date=2018-02-06#l11

* subversion/libsvn_client/info.c
  (same_resource_in_head): Search history backwards instead of forward.

I modified your reproduction script a little and ran a bisect using
https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-SVN-Bisect/bin/svn-bisect.
(Excuse the hard-coded paths.)
