Get SVN remote URL without using 'svn info' command

Question

This question might be weird but I will explain why.

I am aware that svn info command displays the repository details where I can get the remote URL.

But in my situation I am running a background task on windows which is a ruby gtk2 application. When I do svn info "#{url}" it leads to opening a command prompt cmd.exe which just flashes on the screen for a second and disappears.

As this app is running as a windows service in the background and this command is scheduled for every few minutes, it keeps flashing the user's screen with a command prompt and disappears.

So would like to get the remote svn url in a way which does not involve doing svn info or figure a way to not flash the screen.

BTW i am using Tortoise SVN with command line arguments enabled. And the flashing command prompt is C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\svn.exe.

Any help will be really appreciated. :-)

Thanks

I mean you can call svn info your_checkout --xml as hiden process and parse the xml, without any 'flashing' — Y.N

Run svn info your_checkout --xml as hidden process, and parse the results.
