svn remembers the urls in the same way as cvs.

mkdir /tmp/whatever; cd /tmp/whatever; cvs up -r TAG file
won't work. you still need to specify whole 
-d:pserver:something at blahblah.pl:/somethingelse

svn co -N longurl dir once, then
cd dir; svn up something

It will never be exactly the same as in cvs of course.

With cvs it was annoying, too. But not in cvs pld, some of my aliases for 
example

cvse='CVS_RSH=ssh cvs 
-d:ext:arekm at cvs.ezmlm-cgi-py.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ezmlm-cgi-py'
cvspure='CVS_RSH=ssh cvs 
-d:ext:arekm at cvs.pureftpd.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pureftpd'
