It would be nice to have an empty directory (named "empty") in the tree 
at the top level so users can "svn switch" various 
subdirectories/projects to it and get rid of working copies they dont 
want to have around.

GCC does this. See the following for details (look at the section titled 
"Optimize disk usage"):
