You can also use --depth empty in the first command to avoid having
all immediate children in the working copy.

An "svn update --set-depth infinity foo" of a child directory 'foo'
will still work. You'll just need know the name of the child. You can see
the list of children with 'svn ls' even in a depth=empty checkout.

See also the entry in the 1.7 release notes which talks about the new
"svn up --parents" option that makes pulling in children of children
a little easier:
