This has been discussed before... people have suggested that post-1.0
svn have this feature. It's tricky, because it means the working copy
area (.svn) will need to store the 'URL root' of the repository
separately from the repos-path, which it's not yet doing. We're getting
closer now that we have RA->get_repos_root, but there's still work to do
in libsvn_wc. For now, some folks just set environment variables by
hand for convenience:

 $ export SVNROOT=http://host/path/to/repos
 $ svn checkout $SVNROOT/project wc
 $ svn merge $SVNROOT/branch -r10:20 wc

etc.
