For 1.7, there will be a single .svn folder in the root of the working
copy. In a future version, there is a plan to allow the metadata to
live in your $HOME or anywhere. IOW, you could have a single .svn
folder for all of your working copies. This would also enable things
like sharing the pristine copies. So if you had three copies of trunk
checked out, there would only be one extra copy of the pristine files.
And eventually, checkout would even be smart enough to not ask the
server for the files it already has.
