But this is not a sparse checkout. What you're doing here with the CLI
is a *nested* layout, not a sparse checkout. A sparse checkout has the
same layout as the repository, you can't move folders to a different place.

You can do a nested layout with TSVN too:
* check out 'ProjectName' with depth empty
* create an empty folder named 'v6.0.2'
* right-click on that folder, choose "checkout" and check out
URL/branches/v6.0.2 into that folder.
