Given that the original problem here is that some file trees cannot
(at least in a practical way) keep the .svn subfolders integrated
into the tree, why doesn't Subversion offer relocating the .svn tree?
In other words, there could be a commandline option to svn whith path
to a different base for .svn files than the target path of the WC. In
the .svn tree would be the same directory structure as WC, but
only .svn information in each subdirectory.
