Works for me, too...

The other day I experimented with `svn co -N`. I noticed that when it
doesn't checkout subdirs, it also does not `svn up` them later unless
specifically named. The reason is because in the current (parent)
dir, the ".svn/entries" file does not have that subdir listed.

Try
 svn update sub-directory
which does restore it in my experimenting.
