Am I then the only one who has the whole OSM SVN checked out locally all 
the time?

But it isn't done elsewhere in our SVN, is it?

Well it does if you want to check out the whole OSM SVN, and if you're 
halfway involved then you will use so many projects that it is not 
feasible to nicely check out every project's trunk into its own directory.

Or is there a way to do something like "svn checkout 
svn.openstreetmap.org --exclude \*/tag/\* or so?

For someone who is interested in t at h and nothing else, it doesn't 
matter. But you pollute the repository for someone who wants a larger 
checkout because you force them to download and keep every single branch 
and tag.
