Excluding directories from checkout

I have a problem / feature-request which other users may like to comment
about.

I am working using a very large SVN repository, which needs to be
accessed remotely on a regular basis. Most users are only interested in
part of the code base, although all code in the repository is active.

Currently, it is possible to selectively check out individual
directories, but keeping these all in sync manually is tedious and error
prone. It would be very useful if a file 'EXCLUDE' could be placed in
the .svn directory, of selective folders, so that in future those
folders would be treated as if it had not been checked out.

Are there any other ways of excluding directories?

Any comments?
