In .SVN folder ws.db file which contain all the information, It's in Sqlite format.

You can open it using any SQLite tool. I have used Sqlite firefox plugin.

Goto table Repository and read 'ROOT'.

That information is stored in your working copy in .svn folder (for SVN 1.6 there is .svn folder in every folder of your working copy; for SVN 1.7 it's only at the top level).

Yes you are right. But I wonder that can I get this directory's repository folder? – uzay95 Jun 20 '12 at 07:57

You are not supposed to access it directly - only via SVN commands. Otherwise you can corrupt it and then you are toast :) – malenkiy_scot Jun 20 '12 at 08:53
