Roel,
Spotted this on the SVN user list. Don't know if it would help your
situation.
Thread: Partial Checkout (Bob Peterson)
Our collection of products is grouped into a single folder under
.../src/trunk, as a wide and flat hierarchy. That is, trunk contains 43
folders. I want to check out only some of these and still have atomic
updates and commits. How?
For my project I only need 14 of these. Doing a commit or update takes a
very long time. One way I've found to shorten this is to check out only
the 14 folders I need. With TortoiseSVN on Microscruff Windows XP I can
update these easily with a group select and update. I can't commit them as
a multiple selection, so I have to resort to individual commits. That
thwarts the nice atomic commit the Subversion developers worked so hard at
putting in.

Use svn 1.1. Do a 'svn co -N', then 'svn up foodir' for each value of
foodir, to make specific dirs appear. That should work for you.
