Checking out the trunk wouldn't be realistic, no. I am asking the
developers to indicate functional groupings, and will try arranging the
trunk into functional subdirectories in a test area as an experiment.
However I suspect this won't work out in practice, but that's my
headache!

Perfect - this is exactly the procedure I needed to understand. I could
do this with tortoisesvn, but I wasn't sure how to accomplish the same
task on the command line.

Quite. Very helpful indeed, and thanks also for other poster's
constructive criticism.
