Except I don't know anyone that checks out all the projects with SVN today (in the same repo).  I know it can be done, but it's not documented anywhere (even in this document), and so it just doesn't seem relevant to the discussion.

Put another way: the sentence comes across as, "This is just like what you do today!"  But (almost?) no one does this today...

I think that's already clearly expressed in the "concerns about multirepo".  I don't think it's being clearly expressed here.
