I don't think the issue is that extra admin files exist, but the
quantity of them. If svn used a single xml file for all the working copy
admin details instead of a .svn file (yes, I know I'm being very
over-simplistic), then there wouldn't be an issue.
Mind you, a single admin file per versioned file would mean SVN could
start to operate on individual files, not directories... That'd be a
good thing.
