Why not set up your projects so they only include the needed shared folders using externals?

You're talking about checking out a project, but not the externals directories? You can take a look at several things: * There's an --ignore-externals flag when you do a checkout. This prevents any externals directory from being checked out. * Take a look at the --depth switch. You can checkout a directory, without checking out the sub-directories, then just update the subdirectories you want. (Note: There's a --set-depth flag on the update command to override the setting on the checkout command. (See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.5.html#sparse-checkouts for more information on the depth switch.)
