download without .svn folders, but being able to checkout

I downloaded a repository, which is almost 1 Gb. Now the matter is that
Subverion makes these .svn folders, which contains a lot of files AND they
contain a copy of all of the files in the repository, so the whole thing
takes 2 Gb on my hard drive. And this is wasting of my free space, because I
don't want to commit to the repository, I just want to checkout.
I know that we have an "export" command, but if I download with that, then I
won't be able to checkout later, only if I download everything again.

So: I want to checkout anytime, but without having the .svn folders (or at
least not having the file copies), what is the perfect command for this?
