If you do a check-out into a folder that already contains files that
match what's on the server, you'll get 'Versioned' or 'Updated' entries
in the checkout log for those files, as opposed to the normal 'Added'.

I don't know what svn's doing under the hood, but this will do the job
as stated (create a working copy out of an unversioned folder) and may
involve less data being transferred from the server.
