We already do this for every file we receive Subversion notifications
for and had the same thought as you. See release 1.1.8. User's
quickly ran into problems like:

http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=579

And so we put it back. The problem is that Subversion modifies some
files that it does not send notifications for, and so we cannot know
to update them. The full refresh is the only answer we know of to
work reliably.
