You can checkout just the immediates, and increase the depth (svn up
--set-depth infinity)
for the trees you are insterested in.
The svn switch trick listed in the wiki is a hack to perform the
equivalent of a depth of 'empty'
(which has been there for a long time, but perhaps that note is even
earlier)
ie. svn update --set-depth empty
