Another cleaver solution, I test with TortoiseSVN 1.3.5, Build 6804 - 32
Bit, it works.
Thank you all, but I would rather choose 'svn update' if I have svn.exe,
I feel it's easier :-)

I remember the old behaviour of 'svn co -N dir' is to check out files
and empty sub directories under dir, now it only creates a .svn
directory. I don't know whether this problem is that you refer to, I
think it's a sensible decision as I can use 'svn ls' to see directory
tree and 'svn update' to update specified items.
