Title: read file listing locally instead of from server

"svn list" goes to the SVN server to list the files, but you can
get the listing from "svn info" which only checks the local files.

One of our automated test jobs sets up a couple dozen projects, and I found that due to a slow SVN connection on that server, this check was adding a few seconds to each "setup.py" call, which added up to a noticeable overhead. Switching it to use "svn info" has shaved a few minutes off the time to set up all those projects.
