Hi!

Since you are on Windows, you can use TortoiseSVN to achieve it. I use
it this way all the time. The easiest way is to create an empty folder
somewhere in your repository. In the checkout of that dummy folder, you
can checkout whatever you want:

C:\SVN-Dummy (the empty folder)
       |_Checkout Folder 1\Files and folders here
       |_Checkout Folder 2\Files and folders here

You can not update or commit using the dummy, but rather you select all
the checked out folders below in the explorer and update/commit.
As an added bonus you have a functional "modified" icon on the dummy folder.
