Using --depth together with svn:externals

I like to include only the top level directory of another repository path
into a working copy.
I have read about the new (V 1.5.) feature of sparse directories and belive
that what I need.
I search for this here and inside the doc, but it seams that can't be done,
yet !?!

Just to explain what I try to do:

There is a repository of a current project:

trunk
  development
  ...
  customers
    CD_Content
  maintenance
    parameter
      special parameters

Inside of 'CD_Content' for customers there should be included the
'parameter' dir of maintenance, but NOT 'special parameters'.
This may be done by an checkout command with --depth file for the dir '
maintenance/parameter', but how to setup an svn:externals for
'customers/CD_Content' that will check out only parameter into CD_Content ?

If this isn't possible yet, I higly reqeuset such a feature.
The excample given above is just a simple one.
I try to avoid having 'physical copies' of such files (because there is
always a change that something was forgotten when update is needed).

Another thing is the ability of 'inlcuding' only 'some' files into another
dir.
In the above example it may be that almost all files from 'paramter' should
be included, but not all.
This might be done by an svn:externals, that refers to the actual directory
(instead of a subdir) and a special file in another path.

I hope it's clear, what I try to do.
