Then maybe call it a blank checkout; something like "svn --blank"?  Basically a
way to link a working copy to some path in a repository, but leave it completely
empty.  This sounds useful in case you don't want any files that may be
sprinkled within the directory being checked out either.

Right you are; sorry.  The commands svn [include|exclude] make sense; if a
file/directory is not included, svn up would not try to update it.

Just to clarify, in my initial post I mention quieting down the reporting by
specifying a -qm (quiet missing) flag.  Not displaying missing directories would
be an explicit request.

If something is not included using "svn include", would "svn st" display a line
saying those entries are exluded?  A "-qe" flag (quiet excluded) still sounds
like a good idea.  Or maybe in this case, it'd be a verbose flag, so it doesn't
show the exluded entries by default.
