I've been considering the same sorts of approaches recently (as a result of
this thread).  But one thing has me bothered:  from the server's point of
view, there's no meaningful difference between "a GET that's part of a
checkout/update" and "a GET that's part of some other non-update-y operation".

Does that mean that we give the client the power to mark particular GET
requests as "below radar"?  That doesn't seem very ... audit-friendly.
(Granted, no one is forcing the server admin to ignore said GET requests.)

If we don't feel comfortable giving the client this power, then I think our
only option is to advise admins to ignore all GET requests aimed at
Subversion repositories (which has the bonus feature of not requiring any
work on our part).
