No. Subversion needs a working copy for editing. OK it would in theory
be possible to create one automagically, but there are a load of
things to consider that you may not have thought of, like what happens
if someone else commits to the same file after your magic checkout.
Why don't you just checkout a working copy like everyone else does?
