svn info | sed -n "/URL:/s/.*\///p"is almost correct; however, the pattern should only find URL at the beginning of the line because svn info output has two lines that has URL in it. Fixed version is:svn info | sed -n "/^URL:/s/.*\///p"Also so it works even in non svn working copy directories direct stderr to /dev/null, this why you can use it when constructing your PS1 prompt in bash:svn info 2> /dev/null | sed -n "/^URL:/s/.*\///p"
