This is for the case of the svn's 'fsfs' backend.

There is the different backend, the 'bdb' one that keeps data not in the
'.svn' subdirectories but in the 'bdb' format and it's the repository(-ies)
-wide single database with its single file system location.

No, I do not want to delete the '.svn' directories but I want them to not to
be created at all, like it was created with 'svnadmin create --fs-type bdb'
but as a resuit of a checkout.

There was someone here arguing about 'fossil' that (s)he updates from the
freebsd  repositories into the 'bdb'- backend'ed  svn repo, I'd like to know
a way to 'svn checkout' like this at first.

Thank you.
