Right.

There isn't.

If your goal is to not receive all the branches and tags of your
project when you check out, then you should only check out the trunk!

If your repository layout is:

$REPO/
        myproject/
                trunk/
                branches/
                        foobranch/
                                barbranch/
                tags/
                        release-1.0.x/
                        release-1.1.x/

Then you should not check out $REPO/myproject but instead you should
only check out $REPO/myproject/trunk.

Not that I'm aware of.
