Eh?  If I understand you correctly, you're wrong.  :)

You don't have to have every path affected by a commit checked out to get
the parts that affect the parts you *do* have checked out.

While I preach the changeset religion, SVN doesn't enforce it.  You can
check out as small a portion of the repo you like, and updates that affect
that portion will be available to you to be pulled down.  Updates that
don't affect your checkout won't be.

That's your judgement call, and I'm cool with it.  I won't yell at people
for botched commit, though, if they revert them (or the parts of them that
were wrong) immediately afterwards.
