That's mostly because it's extremely polluted. Branch and tag names are mixed all over the place. That doesn't sit well with the normal subversion tree style, due to name collisions. I know this because I tried to convert it to svn some time ago. FreeBSD's repository needs a slightly different svn repository layout than usual in order for it to work. :-/ However, perhaps svn is not the best choice, in fundamental style. As a diverse project, FreeBSD should support remote, loosely coupled repositories based on the main one. I believe svn doesn't work well for that purpose.
