Are you talking about the server version? They may have a web ui, if so that may display the svn version. Just hit it with a browser.

You can really get rid of stuff on the server from a client. You can delete folders, but the data is still there.

I think it uses reverse deltas. But, the svn devs could answer this more accurately.

What exactly is the problem you are having? You know you can check out at and single directory. You don't need to check out the full repository.
