i'd like to checkout a copy on my desktop of a project. i need a directory and only some files of another directory (a common directory for several projects) . i could not find how to do this.

the workaround that i found is to do two checkouts separately. but now i have to do two commits separately since i have two .svn directories

Click the Choose items button on the Checkout dialog box:

[[[

To easily select only the items you want for the checkout and force the resulting working copy to keep only those items, click the Choose items... button. This opens a new dialog where you can check all items you want in your working copy and uncheck all the items you don't want. The resulting working copy is then known as a sparse checkout. An update of such a working copy will not fetch the missing files and folders but only update what you already have in your working copy.

Yes, it is possible.

1. Right-click in your working copy.

2. Select TortoiseSVN | Update to Revision.

3. Click Choose items and add the necessary items.

4. Click OK.

Hope this helps.
