Yes. What I actually like doing when creating my sparse working
copies, is to pull in the top-level directory structure in its
entirety, but not pull in any *contents* of the directories I don't
need. This way if I do need them in the future I can easily "update to
revision" on the the directory in question to pull it in.

Nice, I didn't know this trick!

Or you can chose "this item only" as the depth so that you can more
easily get it back in the future if you want it.
