Granular check-out

For a larger project where we're integrating automated access to SVN
repositories into a product, I'm looking for a way to perform more
granular check-outs from SVN repositories. These are the problems I'm having:

- I need to be able to check out single files (svn cat won't do, as it
won't update the .svn meta information)
- I need to be able to check out a directory without any files (so
that only the files needed can be checked out later).
- I need to be able to check out a directory with its subdirectories,
but without any files.

Are any of these possibel with SVN? Thanks for your help!

Regards,
    Christian
