As I use git more and more for all of my daily development, I continue to run into UX problems like this that are made so much less helpful and more surprising, all in the name of that ultimate "everything is just a sub-tree" flexibility. I am coming to strongly believe that this design paradigm is SVN's fatal flaw keeping it from being the best long-term centralized VCS competitor to git & other DVCSes.
You are a decade late for that discussion. Enforcing other system's
architecture on top of Subversion would break the very reasons people
still use it.
