This information is not available in Subversion for the simple reason
that the server does not track checkouts: they are stateless on the
server in that a checkout operation is read-only against the server.
Only commits (direct and indirect) change the state on the server.
IMHO, this is one of Subversions strengths. Yes, you don't get a
central view of activity, but at the same time you get none of the
fragility associated with distributed state processing. And it means
you can ditch a working copy with a simple local delete; the server
doesn't even have to be online.
In fact, the term "checkout" is really a mismoner; I presume its only
used for historical purposes. "get" would be a more accurate verb.
