I wrote this about Git's sparse checkout features:
http://paulhammant.com/2017/02/08/further-experiments-with-expanding-contracting-monorepos/ I'd love it if someone ported the exact same solution to Subversion. It should be quite easy. This is a massively underused feature of Subversion. It is also something that Google have used (with their in-house VCS) for ten years to make an unparalleled developer experience, (that is tuned for highest throughput). If anyone takes this on, then I'll link to it from my blog. Not that I'm anyone famous.. Thanks, - Paul PS - I'm one of the people behind https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com
