I guess you mean "subversion eclipse plugin" -> Subclipse. While
Subclipse is being developed by the original Subversion creators,
Subversive is the official Eclipse project providing SVN Team support.

This is not Subversive related, but general Subversion/SVN question.
Yes, the .svn directories contain pristine copy of the version
(the BASE revision) of the files you've last checked out (so you
could do diff and stat against that without network access, for
example), and the size of the working copy is essentially double of
the size of the exported (or previously imported) copy.
