More formally, you can say that any file in the checkout is made of

The current SVN working copy philosophy (the same as CVS's, by the way)
is that every working copy directory is self-contained. If we start
recording command parameters in the working copy, we break that property.
Isn't this what the "Repository Root" from svn info gives?
No, that's the root of the repository, not the parameter given to "svn co".
If you
svn co svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk
the repository root that gets recorded is
svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc
The same root is recorded if you
svn co svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/bounded-pointers-branch
