Forget it. That's not a valid URL. You'd have to do something like this:

    svn co 'file:///project/trunk/?pattern=[bm]*

but I'm not sure that's allowed for file:// URLs, and IIRC it's
forbidden for DAV. Anyway, what's the point of having versioned
directories if you don't organize your files in them?
