My current half-working prototype already does this. It first
looks for an .svn/ directory. Only if that directory doesn't
exist does it go looking in ~/.subversion/meta. As such, it
should be 100% compatible with the current approach.

The config option only applies to the 'checkout' command. After
that, SVN figures out whether it is dealing with embedded or
separated meta data automatically, independent of the config
option.

Of course, there was some discussion as to whether or not it
should be a config option at all, or just a command-line option
to checkout. That, coupled with a 'wc' command, would eliminate
the need for yet another option.
