That is EXACTLY the option I was looking for, and would never have thought
of on my own! Thanks!

~10 GB... I finally 'solved' my problem by doing exactly as you said,
rechecking everything out, but this time making sure to checkout my trunk
only. The checkout by itself took about 4 hours (our network isn't exactly
the fastest in the world), which is why I was hoping for an alternative to
doing so. Its solved for now, but if anyone else I know runs into a similar
problem, I'll keep the 'update -N' trick in mind. Thanks again!

Thanks,
