Is there some pack equivalent for svn that I haven't found yet?

Is this literally what SVN does normally? That's just insane. I mean, even
git tried to at least hash out the files (and yeah, admittedly even that
worked less well than I was hoping for, but I at least fixed it within
just a few weeks through the pack mechanism).

Or is that 411,000 files a result of how git-svnimport does things, rather
than some basic SVN approach to live: does it perhaps end up checking out
each file under an individual temporary name?

The svn repository was built by cvs2svn, none of the git tools were involved.
