Look into the export command, something like
svn export svn:/svn/repos/ict /tmp/ict
export works the same as checkout but it doesn't create a working copy,
i.e. you won't have the .svn directorties. You will not be able to
commit from the exported directory or update it with the latest changes
to the repository, but it looks like what you're looking for.
