partial checkout of a repository

Hi!

Is it somehow possible to only partially checkout a repository?

Just think of a repository layout that looks like this

/A/B/X
  /C
  /D
  /E/Y

from which I only need the branches /A/B/* and /A/D/* for now.

Under CVS I would do something like the following ...

> cvs checkout -l A
> cd A
> cvs update -d B
> cvs update -d D

Using this scheme I am able to both do a global update on my 'partial
tree' and also further add other branches to my working copy later on.

Is there a way to do a similar thing under Subversion?
