Chkeckout only a portion of a repoistory

Hi there,

We have a web application that uses Jenkins CI for keeping our staging server up to date via svn update.

Due to not thinking abut it properly in the beginning,
The staging site is actually a working copy of the entire repo (branches and tags included)

We however, only require the trunk.

Is there a way, so that I can remove the branches and tags from a working copy, leaving the trunk in place AND
not have any subsequent updates replace the now missing directories and still have a clean WC?

My initial thought is no,
And it is relatively easy to just blow-away the entire WC and just checkout the trunk only;
But it will cause some downtime that I'd like to avoid if possible.

As always,
thanks!
