Just check it out once, and work on that copy forever.
If you want to update your project because someone else checked in
changes, use the Update menu item - no need to check it out again.

Make a tag whenever you release.

When you want to compile against that tag, you can 'switch' your
working copy to the tag and work / recompile / whatever. You can even
commit hotfixes to the tag. When you're done, switch your working
copy back to trunk.

You can also check out a new working copy, if you are sitting with
changes against trunk in your WC that has not been committed (and that
you'd rather not have spoiled).

Helps?

There's also a 'users' mailing list for this kind of stuff, btw.
