Tinkering with some svn 1.7 early access binaries shows promise.
They're only now beginning to realise performance improvements in the
new working copy but at least that pollution (and all that wasted
diskspace) is gone.

Still, if Bazaar had the IDE integration I'm sure we'd all be using
Bazaar by now - even without externals, partial checkouts, etc (not
that I actually like any of those features, they just happen to be in
use where I work).
