But today, if you checkout a repository item, SVN always creates a file with
the same name. I would not consider it to be a violoation of the concept of
providing a copy if the copy had a different file name based on some logic.
(Same applies for checkin in the other direction)

What do you mean with client side hooks? Does that mean you see the
functionality of mapping names in the client (i.e. command line tool or
tortoise)?
Perhaps the difficulty for me is to see who is actually creating the file
and thus choosing the file name. Agreed, it is not the SVN server itself,
but the tool/client that you are working with.
So at the bottom line: your feedback means "no, this is not a good idea" ?
