You cannot do this.

But usually you do the import only once, and then
update (and commit) the working copy thousand times
during the next 10 years, so that such kind
of optimizations would be irrelevant at the long run.

BTW, a working copy itself anyway costs factor 2
of diskspace, because it stores the base revision
for each file in the .svn directory to allow diff
without server connection.
