Subversion 1.5 sparse checkouts are similar to SourceSafe's shadow
folders. Pre-1.5 subversion, however, has nothing like this and requires
that the developers check out isolated working copy folders for smaller
repository sub-areas. With sparse checkouts, you can simply tell the
client to checkout a higher level parent folder and leave out unwanted
subfolders, which is probably what the OP wanted.
