I believe the svn:externals property would help you. With this, you can do:
svn mkdir http://svn_addr/another_folder/new_path
svn co http://svn_addr/another_folder/new_path
cd <resulting directory>
svn propset svn:externals http://svn_addr/some_folder/old_path .
svn commit
Now, when you check out another_folder, the new_path directory will
contain the contents of the other folder in the repository, and will
be updated, etc correctly.
Hope that helps,
bob
