You call a 10 fold increase some? :) Consider that not all FS are as
efficient as ReiserFS or NTFS.

What's hard to handle and less reliable with one flat folder? You just
need to have different suffixes for files.

text-base/App.cpp.svn-base -> App.cpp.svn-text-base
prop-base/App.cpp.svn-base -> App.cpp.svn-prop-base
    props/App.cpp.svn-work -> App.cpp.svn-prop-work

Having to remember in which folder the file is located or which suffix
it uses it's the same thing.
