SVN: Can you remove directories from a local checkout only (not from the repository)?

Question

Assume that you have a directory under subversion control, that contains some files and tons of subdirectories, like that:

file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
dir1/
di         


        

Answer 1

You can try this trick involving a local repository and svn:externals declarations.

Haven't tried it myself, though.
