A simple build script question

Hello,

I am having a small issue in writing a build script and I'm hoping
someone can help me find a solution.

The project is structured roughly like this:

/project/src

/project/doc

/project/script

/project/lib

What I want to do is:

1) Checkout only the script folder

2) From the script folder, run NANT which performs the build

      a) checkout the other folders

      b) create artifacts (binaries, etc)

      c) checkin artifacts

      d) tag release

I have step two working, it's the first one that I'm struggling with. If
I do this:

      svn co svn://machine:port/project/trunk/script c:\project\script

Then I get an error during the build that the 'script' folder already
exists:

      svn: Failed to add directory 'script': object of the same name
already exists

OK, I understand the reason behind that, but if instead I do this:

      svn co svn://machine:port/project/trunk c:\project -N

      svn co svn://machine:port/project/trunk/script c:\project\script

Then during the "checkout" stage of the build process nothing happens.
This is due to the well known behavior of the -N option.

I assume that I'm missing the obvious solution. What are others doing
in this situation?
