Subversion does not support checkout of individual files.
The smallest unit you can currently check out is a directory
with all its files (non-recursively without subdirectories if
you specify the -N option).
I believe it would be easy to implement a -O (--omit-files)
option in addition to the -N (--non-recursive) option which
would check out a drirectory *without* its files and subdirectories.
I have suggested that on this mailing list (see the attached mail)
but I have not received any response yet.
So, currently your only choice is to check out everything and
manually remove all the files you do not currently need.

Hi,
as explained here
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=34267
and here
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=34293
many users in my organization would like to check out only partially
populated directory trees.
Of course it makes no sense to check out files without the proper
directory environment, which is also needed as a home for the .svn
directory.
However, a nice solution could be a -O flag.
Just like the -N flag omits all subdirectories, the -O flag would
omit all files (just check out a "skeleton" directory). Individual
files could then be filled in using svn update.
Example:
I want to work on
http://host/repository/project/trunk
currently, all I need is
http://host/repository/project/trunk/Makefile
and
http://host/repository/project/trunk/dira/prog.cpp
for reasons such as download performance and directory clarity,
I do not want to check out all the other files in
http://host/repository/project/trunk and in
http://host/repository/project/trunk/dira.
With the new -O flag, I could do the following:
svn checkout -O http://host/repository/project/trunk
cd trunk
svn update Makefile
svn update -O dira
cd dira
svn update prog.cpp
Carsten.
