Yes, I understand the export function. I want functionality for release
management into test and production environments.
For these environments I have a few requirements:
Files in these environments will NEVER be edited
For new releases I will need to perform an update to revision, which
will add, update and delete needed files
I want as small of a .svn directory as possible
I'm fairly certain that this functionality is currently not present, but I
think there are many installations where this would be valuable.
I'd like to create an enhancement request, but according to the website it was
recommended that I post to this mailing list first.

AFAIK there is no such option for a "checkout", however, you can get the source
without the .svn folder using the "export" command:-
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.svn.c.export.html
...you can specify the revision etc. Note, however, that it will not remove
unwanted files like an update can.

P.s. I think Thorsten just beat me to it...
