I don't know a direct way, but you can check out the whole bunch, then
rm -rf the directories you don't need, and edit the file .svn/entries
in the parent dir to remove the <entry .../> you just deleted.
Eg after full check out
cd ....../bin
rm -rf alpha-linux
vi .svn/entries
# remove the entry
# <entry
# name="alpha-linux"
# kind="dir"/>
Probably there is a simpler way ...
Best wishes

CORFE (n.)
An object which is almost totally indistinguishable from a newspaper,
the one crucial difference being tat it belongs to somebody else and
is unaccountably much more interesting that your own - which may
otherwise appear to be in all respects identical. Though it is a rule
of life that a train or other public place may contain any number of
corfes but only one newspaper, it is quite possible to transform your
own perfectly ordinary newspaper into a corfe by the simple expedient
of letting somebody else read it.
