Bug Description
When in a directory that has been checked out with svn, if you run "bzr info", it automatically connects to the svn server to fetch all revisions:
$ svn co svn+ssh:
[...]
$ bzr info
Initialising Subversion metadata cache in /home/me/
[/ ] fetching svn revision info 80/15179
this is really overkill and will stall for a long time without any output if svn server is unavailable.
default behaviour should be to inform the user that it is an svn repository and that revisions could be fetched from the server with another option/command (e.g. "bzr init" does exactly this if I'm not mistaken). If it's able to do it locally (without ever contacting the svn server) it could output information about the location of the svn server and maybe current revision number.
