Comment:

 The above patch adds a new `info` method to the `Tools\SVN` class. It also
 refactors a portion of the `export_and_parse_plugin` method in
 `CLI\Import` to use the new SVN method to find the correct location of the
 stable branch before running an export. Finally it uses the data from the
 new method to populate the plugin's "Last updated" timestamp.

 In testing, using **bin/import-plugin.php**, the "Last updated" was
 getting set to the correct value from the svn repo. One (possibly trivial)
 side benefit is that the refactor of the export process seems to have cut
 the time to process a single plugin in half--1.4 seconds vs 2.6 seconds on
 my sandbox.

 This probably needs more testing before merge, especially to make sure
 there aren't any regressions in how `export_and_parse_plugin` handles edge
 cases. I'm not sure yet how best to find and test those edge cases though.
