Thank you for the links.
In one of them, a workaround is given : scord [1], which uses fuse to
provide a full working copy (including pristine copies) but doesn't
store them on disk unless necessary. You can use any regular svn
client on top of it.
I tried it, it's great ! I'll keep with it.
I also tried svnfs, which worked well also. It provides a "zero copy"
filesystem view of the repository. However it is read-only and
head-revision-only (for the moment). This can be of great use when the
repository in on your desktop computer:
- you add/modify pictures through a (maybe partial) checkout
- you view them directly with svnfs.
There is also fsvs [2] which keeps a single copy of the files in its
customized working copy. I did not tried it.

[2] http://fsvs.tigris.org/
For my picture library, I think now that I will put the repository on
a server and use a scord working copy on my laptop.
Thanks to both of you for your help.
