There are no "modules" in a Subversion repository. There are only
directories and files.

Check out just the directory you want, and name it what you want. You
almost certainly do not want to check out trunk, all branches and all
tags. Instead, check out only the trunk, or only a specific branch,
or only a specific tag.

For example:

svn checkout http://www.example.org/svn/someproj/trunk someproj-trunk

(checks out someproj/trunk into a local directory someproj-trunk)
