I agree that some heuristics to figure out the file-name from (svn-reference-url ref) would be nice.
It's not that important that the store filenames are meaningful to humans, it's just nice-to-have. So I'd say heuristic it and be done with it.
On second thought, maybe even default file-name to the Guix package name (if possible at this point in Guix). The hash value will make it unique regardless (for example if there are multiple svn-download blocks in the same package)
