It is really a subversion issue. From any subversion repository one can 
checkoout individual subversion folders, and one can instruct subversion 
if one wants subfolders of that folder or not when one checks out a 
subversion folder. This is just standard subversion functionality.

TortoiseSVN is just a front-end for subversion under Windows. It is very 
good ( I use it ) but one can use command-line version if one wants instead.
