RE: How do I checkout a single file

If you use something like windows webfolders, WebDAV, and set AutoVersioning
to On, then you can copy the file to a new location, edit it, and then copy
the edited file over the original one. I'm pretty sure this will do what
you want, someone please pipe up if I am wrong.

If I was going to implement such support it would probably involve creating
a new directory with a .svn subdir in it and only checking out the files
requested into it, rather than the whole thing. There are situations where
this might be warranted (say you have a REALLY big directory for some
reason, and don't want to check it all out).
