You know, I think we can do this even without having to butcher the
layout of the repository. Check out a directory containing just the
script, and have it use "svn switch -N" at the end to pick up the top
level files.
The thing to watch out for is an svn update to a different revision,
which has a tendency to re-populate all the missing directories. I've
gotten bitten by this a few times trying to track down gcc bugs by
date; it kept pulling in the ada/java sources and I kept trying to
delete them.
