Can I get an item's repository path in subversion without being connected to vpn?

Question

I can access my subversion repository only when I am on the Client's VPN connection, because the repository is there.

But, frequently, I only need to get access to the path of an item in a folder and connecting to VPN frequently wastes a lot of time.

Is there any way, I can get the path without connecting to the VPN and hence without connecting to the repository?

the only way that I can think of that you could access data in the repository without connecting to it is if you kept a local copy. — Ross Tajvar

well wouldn't it just be the same IP address/domain and repository name each time? the path is what's changing, and if you have a local copy then you have the directory structure right there to draw the path from. — Ross Tajvar

If you have the element in a working copy you can use svn info /path/to/element/in/working/copy. The line beginning with URL: contains the URL of the element. This shouldn't need a connection to the repository.
