Kirk,
You could create a /foo/website project that had snv:externals for all
the directories you wanted. Then your website working copy would be of
/foo/website.
The book will do a much better job of explaining this, so take a look at
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.advanced.extern

Subject: How to checkout a partial svn repository?
Hello,
I'm using svn to manage all my project files, including files I want
available on a website. What I would like to do is to checkout part of
a svn repository on this website and be able to do a svn update
thereafter without having any portions I did not explicitly checkout
showing up later.
I've tried manually checking out each sub-directory I want from svn but
as soon as I issue a svn update at the top level directory, the other
directories are then included and updated. I've tried manually removing
write access from the directories I don't want to update but then svn
simply stops updating everything and complains about a missing file
lock.
Here is an example of what I'm wanting to do.
My repository looks like below:
foo
foo/project1
foo/project1/data
foo/project1/exe
foo/project1/source_code
foo/project2
foo/project2/data
foo/project2/exe
foo/project2/source_code
On my website I want to make all data and exe folders available but not
the source_code directories.
foo
foo/project1
foo/project1/data
foo/project1/exe
foo/project2
foo/project2/data
foo/project2/exe
Once checked out and excluding all the source_code folders, I would like
to thereafter change to folder foo on my webserver machine and do a
single "svn update" and have all the sub-folders update without ever
having the source_code folders included.
I appreciate any help.
