Is it possbile to check out a single folder?

Hi,

On the client side, is it possbile to check out a single folder?
I tried through the "-N" flag and it seems to have succeeded. But problem
occurs when I try to check out a subdirectory of this folder. The content of
the error message is "Working copy *** not locked."

It seems to me that, single folder operation is possible. But one has to
check out the entire repository the first time when he/she uses the
repository, so as to put the local files under version control. The problem
for me is that, my repository is very large, it seems to be foolish to fetch
the entire repository for accessing only one folder.

What seems to be the reason?

Thanks in advance.
