I found this question looking for a way to check out the WebKit sources while excluding the regression tests. I ended up with the following:

svn checkout http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk WebKit \
  --depth immediates

cd WebKit
find . \
  -maxdepth 1 -type d \
  -not -name '.*' \
  -not -name '*Tests' \
  -not -name 'Examples' \
  -not -name 'Websites' \
  | (while read SUBDIR; do svn update --set-depth infinity "$SUBDIR"; done)

Note you can change the exclusions as you see fit, but .* is recommended to skip the working directory (which is already up to date) and all of the .svn directories.
