Yes, this is by design of subversion.

Every file which is under version control has a non-compressed copy in the
corresponding .svn directory. This makes some operations faster because no
repository access is required and allows sending deltas of commits instead
of sending the whole file every time.

It has been discussed if keeping this copy should be configurable but I'm
not aware of any changes coming in the near future.
