Yes, but as is noted in the explanation, it requires contacting the
repository. TSVN (and all SVN clients) connect to the repository as

As soon as svn up completes, any information that as downloaded may be
out of date and invalid. Locks especially can be very transient.

You will never know if another WC has changes that haven't been
committed, because that information is never communicated to the
server.

No, it's less efficient, and would put undue load on the network and server.
Things are done the way they are for very, very good reasons which
were explained in what you copied & pasted into your email. It's not
