Correct. The client needs to replace the file because it's
responsible for mangling the file contents: substituting end-of-
lines, or expanding keywords. It does this atomically by first
creating the 'mangled' file in .svn/tmp/, then moving it on top of
the working file.

I've never heard of an editor which didn't notice that a file's inode
(or contents) had changed. That sounds like a serious bug in the
editor.
