From my perspective, I really like SVN's ability to figure what changed on its own, without having to be told.
And having the metadata localized allows to do wierd things like manually merge WC temporarily, or easily take a smaller piece of the WC and move it elsewhere.

As Greg Hudson mentioned, a number of us are really quite enthusiastic
about a libsvn_wc rewrite which (1) centralizes metadata in one place
and (2) allows users the option of emulating perforce -- 'svn edit' to
tell svn what you're changing, so that 'svn status/update/commit' no
longer need to traverse the tree.
We're simply laying low, waiting for svn 1.5 to finish. When 1.5 is
out, I encourage you to participate in this design. I think it's a
better bet than digging into FUSE-like things.
