Don't check out the whole repository but only the parts you are working
on. You could also consider using "export" instead of "checkout" for
read-only data.

AFAIK, no. In any case, you would sacrifice repository interaction for
those files, because generating diffs requires a clean copy, so
exporting might really be an alternative.

Correct me if I am wrong. But our repo contains many big binary files that I never touch at all (zip files with textures updated by artists).

That would be a change to core subversion functionality so you have to
ask for that feature on the subversion users list, not this one. I
believe such a feature has been mooted and may even be in development,
but you won't see it until at least subversion 1.8. In the meantime
you could use sparse checkouts as Uli suggests.

Ok. I'll try export.

I didn't mean textual patch files but diffs in a more general way.
Subversion uses xdelta, if I remember correctly, and it doesn't care
what the content of the files are.
