You only get the extra files if you do a checkout to create a working copy, not if you do an export. Since in our workflow web content has a strict one way (dev -> QA -> prod) publishing cycle that works fine with exports. For server configuration files (basically all of /etc/) I need working copies because they go both ways, from repo to server and from server to repo. But on the other hand, I don't want any extra files in my /etc/ because that would seriously mess up anything that works with config directories instead of config files. So there I typically have a working copy in /tmp/ that mirrors /etc/ and use that if I have to push files to the repository. That does require discipline though to keep /etc/ and /tmp/etc/ in sync.
