Well, yes, that's true, when you take a look onto functionallities like
"atomic commits" or the very efficient database backend. (those two were
the reason why subversion is on the list of possible tools)

The file just get's copied to one location, to get a environment where
it can be compiled and tested. It's like when you want to test a new
version of a pc program- you "copy" it from a location to your pc and
test it. when you develop someting in the program, this has nothing to
do with your windows or linux, just with the program.
