space-efficient working copies

I have a scenario where we have many users working on or viewing the
same set of data in the repository.

This data is binary and when multiplied among the number of users the
disk requirements can get onerous.

I would really like to be able to implement a light-weight working copy
using symbolic links that point to a common read-only area, replacing
the links with editable data when locks/edit permissions are granted.

Does anyone have any ideas if something like this is feasible in
subversion?

Thanks,

Eric
