RE: Checkout single file

Can you not check if the URL of the repository you are about to check out
refers to a file or not, if it's a file can you then checkout the parent
folder using -depth empty then do a separate update on the file you wanted
to checkout?
Essentially carrying out these three steps when you want to check out a
single file when the working copy doesn't exist:
1) svn checkout <url_of_big_dir> <target> --depth empty
2) cd <target>
3) svn up <file_you_want>
