To flesh out Ben's remarks, the standard way to do it would be to create a
directory product1, and give its svn:externals property the value:

    sub1 http://.../sub1
    sub3 http://.../sub3
    sub6 http://.../sub6

Then the checkout you give will produce a WC like you expect, but ./sub1
will actually be a checkout of http://.../sub1, etc. (The Subversion client
processes svn:externals properties and assembles a tree of directories that
looks like what is specifed; in the repository, product1 contains no files
or directories.)
