In pre-1.0 versions of svn, the client received a list of files to
fetch, and then did a million GET requests. While that situation
might have been very nice for proxy accelerators, it also made 'svn
checkout' about 5-10 times slower than it currently is. So we made
the performance tradeoff for the common case of *not* having proxy
caches.
The client and server still know how to do the old-style checkout,
they just don't use that method anymore. ('svn diff/merge' still use
that style of tree fetching, IIRC). Perhaps a feature request might
be a switch or runtime-preference in ~/.subversion/servers to use the
old-style checkout. Most people won't want that, but folks with
proxy caches might...
