Why? Disk is cheap. Much cheaper than the time it would take to modify svn to work the way you are requesting. Heck, I just bought a 1TB SSD for ~$500. The spinning version was about $120.
I would recommend you write a script that does an export rather than using the update feature. Although, this would probably mean the task would take longer, since you don't have the benefit of the .svn pristines to know what changed files need to be requested from the server. But, it sounds like you care more about disk space than network traffic and/or time. Of course, that is your decision to make.
