No, sorry.

I'm sorry, but even though you say that the "performance issue is clear"
you haven't really thought this through. The performance issue is real -
for example, doing that for the TSVN repository on trunk takes more than
10 minutes. I'm pretty sure that none of your users would accept that -
it might be faster to just start the checkout.

Now, why don't you set up a web page with that kind of information? You
could write a script directly on the server that fetches that
information (much, much faster that way) and generate a html page with
that info. Users then can easily see it, and if you also provide tsvn
checkout links [1] from there it would be even better :).
