I don't think there is such a setting.

What about using trunk/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py to
switch the WC back to 1.5 instead of getting a fresh WC?

Bonus: If that script fails, it's likely that trunk has severely broken
the WC, and there is a bug we need to fix anyway. Or the script needs
to be updated. Or both.
