checkout part of a branch

[svn, version 1.3.2 (r19776), rh-fc3 linux]

I would like to checkout part of a (200000 file) branch so I can use
svnmerge without lugging around our entire repository. Svnmerge insists
on a top-level working directory.
I tried:
  svn co -N top
  svn co top/A top/A
  svn co top/B top/B,
but svnmerge says 'no copyfrom info available'. Is there some other
kludge that will get part of a branch checked out?
