Have you looked at the layout of the src tree lately? Binutils is not
a subtree.
src/Makefile.tpl
src/gas
src/bfd
src/gdb
et cetera. We want gas, bfd, and Makefile.tpl, but not GDB.
You can make SVN not update parts of the tree, e.g. by svn switching
subtrees to an empty directory. But that doesn't help you with the
checkout.
SVK now offers "views" for this purpose, which seem quite nice.
