True.
However, it *does* need some way to differentiate between url->url,
url->wc, and wc->url commands, so even if there was an SVNROOT, you'd
still have to specify it on the command lines :)

I can't follow that reasoning. If you have one or more full svn url(s), that is evident.
If you say file@version and no file with that exact name (i.e. including the @) exists,
a specific version of file in the repository is wanted.
If a file argument is specified, it is natural to get the repository location from the
svn info on that file. If no file argument is specified, but the current working directory
has been checked out with svn, it is natural to use the repository location of that directory.
