SVN 1.7 - check out single file?

[Andy Levy]

With the new way WCs are managed, will it be possible to check out a
single file, instead of having to do multiple steps with sparse
directories just to get a single file in a directory? Looking at the
release notes and CHANGES file, I think the answer is "no", but I need
someone more knowledgeable to back me up here before I take the answer
back to the person who asked me. Thanks.
