If you checkout the svn root, you get all the branches as directories in your local filesystem. After that, it seems it would be the same as what you're saying.

Besides, you can do svn ls to see the branches.

I must be missing what you're getting at.

I think he means that the way you work is the same as in SVN but the way the system works is like Git etc.: the branches are editable and accessible like directories but with the advantages and changeset-construction of Git behind it.

Am I right?
