If you want to do that to command line users, it is up to you.
As an API consumer, I would be pissed if this is a requirement. IDE users
in particular rarely have working copies that are not mixed revision as the
GUI's tend to steer you in that direction. It is obviously easy to just
update the root of your working copy in a GUI, but when you have a
graphical tool showing you changed files from the repository, a lot of
people use those options too. And those pretty much have to only update
the items you select. Some GUI users seem to live in that mode of
operating.
