Setting a Working folder at the top level of the repository

Hi Everybody,

I've finally convinced everyone that our company should migrate from Visual Source Ssafe to Subversion (woohoo!). I've had no problems convincing people that this is a good idea for our VSS repositories that contain source code.

However, people haven't been so easily won over for our documentation repository. This repository contains a deep hierarchy with many sub-folders. Each user is interested in 10-20 very specific areas of the repository - the rest is irrelevant to them. For instance, it would be normal for a user to want to access the following areas of the repository:

/Support/Security/Keystores/Production
/Network/HP/ChangeRequests
/Product/Hardware/Customers

I'm looking for an easy way for users to check out a local copy of these folders without having to type in a path manually each time. What I'm imagining is that I would set the "working folder" for the entire repository to "C:\Documentation", then when I went to check out one of the folders listed above, TortoiseSVN would fill in the local path for me (e.g. C:\Documentation\Support\Security\Keystores\Production). Is there a way to achieve this in TortoiseSVN? Is there another feature that will prevent users from having to type in the local path each time?

I read about sparse directory support in 1.5.0, but I don't think that it will help me.

Thanks for any help,

Nathan
