Could it be that there is a mode in svn checkout that allows
pristine to be hardlinked to the working tree copies?  It
requires an editor that can be told to break hardlinks when
making modifications (and the user obviously needs to know about
it), but to save 1.5G it is worth it and if _I_ were hacking on
SVN that would be an obvious optimization to add.
