Yeah, it does seem rather annoying to have another file spring up in a
.svn area. Besides, we've talked about having the ability for an SVN
working copy to contain stuff checked out from multiple Subversion
repositories ... you wouldn't want a separate "Root" file for each
thing, would you?
The closest thing that I think we'll come to that is to have the
entries files track the canonical repository name for the entries in
it. And we have that in the plans today. So, my
~/projects/subversion/subversion/libsvn_wc's entries file will have,
in the "svn:this_dir" entry, something like
...
repository="http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn"
url="http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_wc"
...
