How do you do incremental checkouts?

We use a large svn repository (> 10GB) so we usually start with a partial checkout, limiting the checkout depth and selecting specific branches. That works fine but it appears impossible to do any further checkouts without deleting the existing workspace and starting again.

Here's what we've tried:

From the repo browser, checkout specific folder (surprisingly, you have to manually set the destination folder): Error: xxx is already a working copy for a different URL.

From the repro browser: Checkout root level then select items to check out. This proceeds to delete previously checked-out folders.

Update from root directory: Ignores anything not previously checked out.

Is it possible to incrementally check out items or do we have to delete the entire workspace and start from scratch each time?
