Thanks, David.  I did bring up using 'svn list' in my original post and grep'ing for trunk, but that took 4 times as long as the actual checkouts that need to be performed.  And even a 1.6 server won't improve that.

I've started the ball rolling on an SVN server upgrade.  Without that, I don't see any feasible non-brittle solution.  With that, I'm thinking that iterating N levels deep with "--depth immediates" will be performant.  I'm not sure how Ant does at emulating 'find . -type d' command...

@Bob Archer:  Yes, I've had dozens of SVN sandboxes on-disk at once both inside and outside of Eclipse.  They too were various versions of projects.  I strongly suspect our situation is different.  This one project has different branches and tags at different levels.  In fact, our production support team will be mainly responsible for the proj/top2/deploy/** subtree, including tagging, whereas the other trees will be managed by us product developers.  I suspect there will be at least 5 different "sets" of trunk/tag/branch trees, updated at different times, some perhaps with different naming conventions (for branches and tags).
