Yes. But *only* when the file is changed. If the checksum match,
no need to get it.
Imagine the repository containing plenty of word documents or
images, from which I edit just one or two...

Yeah, here the needs of people working remotely over the modem on
typical software project (slow network + not so big files) are
fairly different from the needs of the people working on the
large project within organization (fast local network + a lot
of, sometimes very large files, from which only part is edited).
And I think to satisfy both one just should configure whether to
keep the textbase as the client property.
As talking about 20GB disks. In my organization, while we forgot
about any disk space problems on desktop Wins and Lins, we still
face limited disk space problems on machines like Tru64/Unix,
HP/UX, VMS etc where we also build our software. If you have the
single server on which 30 developers keep their working copies
and consider the prices HP uses for their server equipment, the
diskspace problems are not completely gone...
