Subclipse support follows the guidelines of the Eclipse Team Provider
documentation:

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/team_resources_linked.htm

Strategies for Handling Linked Resources

In order to be "link friendly", a provider should allow projects with
linked resources to be version controlled, but can disallow the
version controlling of linked resources themselves.

A considerably more complex solution would be to allow the versioning
of the actual linked resources, but this should be discouraged since
it brings with it complex scenarios (e.g. the file may already be
version controlled under a different project tree by another
provider). Our recommendation therefore is to support version
controlled projects which contain non-version controlled linked
resources.

Doing anything else with Subversion would be very difficult. We rely
on the Subversion API to perform all activity and it has no knowledge
of Eclipse idiosyncrancies like linked resources.
