[Shipwright] SVN backend

[David Good]

I'm just trying out Shipwright and would like to use it with an SVN 
backend (I'd like to learn SVK, but one thing at a time...).  I keep 
getting "invalid repository" messages when trying to do a 'shipwright 
create' and dug into some debugging and found that it uses the 'svn 
info' command to tell if the repo is valid or not, but (at least the svn 
version I have -- 1.1.4) requires a working directory rather than a URLs 
(I see the message "svn: 'svn info' only works on working copy paths, 
not URLs" when debugging).

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
