Checking out the entire svn repos of plugins and themes appears to be too big a job for subversion, which regularly falls on its face in the attempt. For the initial implementation, concentrating on git instead seems the wiser move, and will move us closer toward first-party publishing via packagist. Once that's done, we can expand to include svn, one plugin at a time.
The code that builds metadata can be found here:
get_plugin_data()
defined in wp-admin/includes/plugin.php
