I'm not sure what this experiment tells us. The net result of this
process is only files on your local disk; it does not connect you to
the VC system. If that's all you need, then by all means, just
download and unpack the tarball once!

On the other hand, if you're actually looking for VC (so you can get
changes more efficiently, or so you can commit changes back in, or
all the other stuff that VC provides), then it's hard to understand
the spread between this experiment and actual VC. This experiment
doesn't include creating the various state stuff in .svn/ (you've
covered the base text copy, but not the rest). This experiment also
doesn't cover any of the server-side work necessary to accomplish
your request (selecting the particular versions you want).
