I have tried this but it doesn't work. First of all, when I right-click on the folder in the Repo-browser I don't have a "Update time to revision" option. So I tried with the checkout and if I do one directory at a time, checking the "only this item" option it seems I get what I want.

However, these are nested WCs, not a single one. For example, if I want to commit some changes in few files in different subfolder right-clicking on the root of my WC Tortoise reports no changes to commit.

I can do it with the CLI, using a series of svn co -N, but not with Tortoise. I personally have no problem with it, but some people in my company don't want to use the CLI. Is there a way to do it with Tortoise then?

I'm using Tortoise 1.4.5 and SVN Client 1.4.5 with SVN Server 1.4.4
