Running

  svn update

will crate a .svn/lock file in every subdirectory.  This slows down the
update quite noticeable for large repositories such as the pkg-perl
trunk [1].  It gets more annoying on encrypted disks as the system gets
unresponsive once the changes get written back to the disk :/

It would be nice if Subversion would content itself with creating less
lock files, for example by operations in subdirectories checking for
locks in the parent directories (maybe creating their locks there as
well).
