Does svn:externals Support --depth?

I'm trying to use svn:externals to include a directory from repo B in 
working copies of repo A.  I can change only repo A.  The external 
directory is huge, but I want only a few immediate children.  Is there a 
way to get what this implies from svn:externals?

% svn proplist -v .
Properties on '.':
  svn:externals
    "-r1346 --depth=immediates" 
http://www.example.com/svn/repoB/hugeDirTree smallDirTree

This is conceptual only.  I can't set the property as shown because of the 
--depth.  Apparently, it accepts only a -r.

Thanks.

Jim
