alt Hacker NewsSubversion works ok over webdav, it has done it for decades.
Mounting a directory through nfs, smb or ssh and files are downloaded in full before program access them. What you mean? Listing a directory or accessing file properties, like size for example do not need full download.

Thank you!!!!
I am confused, what do you mean? What OS forces you to download whole file over NFS or SMB before serving read()? Even SFTP does support reading and writing at an offset.
