I wonder if you could do a checkout of everything but lib/externals and
you could make a ln -s to lib/externals ?  I suspect the cuplrit in
terms of space is lib/externals ...  That said, I've never checked out a
repository and told co not to bring directory X.  Googling around I
found "Sparse Checkouts" :
http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2007/06/sparse-director.html.  Looks
promising.  Let me know if that helps.
