Comment (by chrillep):

 if someone wanted to standardize lookup for
 Requires PHP
 Requires at least
 it would need to be in readme.txt
 since you have no way of knowing which file is the main plugin file?

 https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wordpress-seo/tags/20.6/readme.txt
 (predictable)
 https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wordpress-seo/tags/20.6/??.php
 (unpredictable)

 or is there away around this when using svn urls only?
