If you write
"svn co -N <url>"
you will not get any subdirectories at least. You will still get all the
files in the base directory of your url.
As far as I know, there is no way to check out a single file. I think
you can do a "svn export", but that will "disconnect" the file from the
repos. If you don't need to edit and check in the file, it might be a
solution.
