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.

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.
