svn

I am using TortoiseSVN and I have a SVN repository organized in this way:

folder1
  folder2
    trunk
    tag
    branches
  folder3
    trunk
    tag
    branches
  folder4
    folder5
      trunk
      tag
      branches

I would like to know if there is a way to checkout only trunk directories, keeping the entire tree under the versioning control:

folder1
  folder2
    trunk
  folder3
    trunk
  folder4
    folder5
      trunk

In this way I can update all trunks with a single update command on folder1, without updating tags and branches which can be full of data.
