Hello Adam,
We reviewed you request and think that this is not a standard behaviour for
trees but we are trying to be consistent with Eclipse.
But if you provide more info why and how this feature could be useful for
users, maybe with more details, we'll review it.
Thanks.

The most similar thing in Eclipse is the Java Package Explorer. When
you expand a source folder in a project, instead of showing all the
packages in a hierarchy, it's able to collapse a common package prefix
into a single tree node.
e.g. You have a project called 'server' and all your classes for that
project are in the com.example.server package or a subpackage (lets say
com.example.server.io and com.example.server.util), the package manager
will show a tree node for com.example.server and then child nodes for
the io and util subpackages (if you have the hierarchical package
presentation selected).
The SVN Repositories view could work in a similar way when you expand a
source folder of a Java project. So instead of expanding com, then
example, then server manually you simply expand com and it
automatically expands it to com/example/server (as a single node in the
tree).

This feature would make it a little quicker and easier for users to
navigate to specific source files in a project (as I often do when my
workspace is on a different branch to the one I need to check).
Thanks for considering my suggestion,

I found two more examples of this. The Synchronize view defaults to the
"Compressed folders" presentation which demonstrates most of what I'd
like to do (except that subfolders aren't child nodes of the compressed
folder). The History view also will collapse folders when its set to
Hierarchical Affected Path Layout. The history view shows exactly how I
think it should behave.

Hello Adam,
In SVN Repositories view we work with remote resources in contrast to
Package Explorer which works with local resources and in order to achieve
such a behaviour we need to add extra processing which in the end will
decrease responsiveness.
