Obviously I don't know your requirements, but this would be very
unusual. I can see a branch maintainer might want both the trunk and
the branch checked out, but you should think about whether they really
need every other branch and every tag as well.

If you can reduce the size of your checkouts by a large factor, I think
you'll find everything goes faster.
