Description

For the sake of efficiency, our scripts for regression testing check out parts
of our repository instead of pulling the whole thing.  So for this directory tree:

--baseproj/
----subd1/
----subd2/

I may only pull the baseproj and baseproj/subd1 directories.  

With cvs, I'd do something like this:
cvs co -l baseproj
cd baseproj
cvs update -d subd1

I'd like to do something equivalent with subversion, so I set up a little test
repository.  Here's the result of pulling the entire thing:

glandrum: /tmp/co > svn checkout svn://localhost/tmprepos/baseproj baseproj
A  baseproj/subd2
A  baseproj/subd2/file21
A  baseproj/subd2/file22
A  baseproj/base1
A  baseproj/base2
A  baseproj/subd1
A  baseproj/subd1/file1
A  baseproj/subd1/file2
Checked out revision 1.

The repository is there and it is functional.

So now, the problem.  First I checkout the base directory:
glandrum: /tmp/co > svn checkout -N svn://localhost/tmprepos/baseproj baseproj
A  baseproj/base1
A  baseproj/base2
Checked out revision 1.

Everything ok so far... but now try checking out a subdirectory:
glandrum: /tmp/co > svn checkout svn://localhost/tmprepos/baseproj/subd1
baseproj/subd1
svn: Working copy 'baseproj/subd1' not locked

whoops.  Maybe changing into the directory helps?
glandrum: /tmp/co > cd baseproj/
glandrum: /tmp/co/baseproj > svn checkout
svn://localhost/tmprepos/baseproj/subd1 subd1
svn: Working copy 'subd1' not locked

Nope... still not working.
