This makes the Clutch Master smaller, making it easier to locate it closer to the Pedal eliminating a bunch of Linkages. Plus, it saves a tiny bit of weight as well...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
While innovative, it's hardly unique to Porsche. In fact, as I've recently discovered it's a pretty common setup. I'm definately going to keep in mind your advice about changing out the fluids!
