Yep.  And, in contrast with any average directory, when you look at
part of a working tree, being able to see all the substructure at once
is often a good default.

Yeah, but the author of psvn told me he never considered optimizing
for large projects to be a priority.  So it may not be a function of
the intrinsic cost of listing all the files.  I think you could
probably do a lot with cacheing.

The other factor is that, the linux kernel notwithstanding, IME Git
repos tend to be smaller than SVN repos because with Git it makes
more sense to break up things that may eventually interact and
cross-merge.
