Why would you do that? You'd effectively have to check out the file in a
Subversion working copy to get the correct size (or reimplement
Subversion's end-of-line conversion and keyword expansion logic, which
I'd not recommend).

The size of the file in the repository is as real as any other size. As
are the contents. Does your plugin show file contents? If yes, does it
perform keyword expansion and newline substitution, like the Subversion
client would? If no, don't bother about tweaking the reported size.
