Au contraire, the feature has been in our to-do list (issue tracker)
for years.  We even accepted a Summer of Code student to implement
this feature.  (Unfortunately he never completed.)  But it's something
that AFAIK, the whole svn developer community wants.   I just don't
think anyone is actively working on it yet.
