Checking out single file

Hi,

I am wondering if its possible to checkout single or multiple files. In subversion you can only checkout a folder but using a simple 3 step process you can checkout a single file like so:
1) svn checkout <url_of_big_dir> <target> --depth empty
2) cd <target>
3) svn up <file_you_want>

Does SmartSVN give you the ability to checkout a file where there is no working directory? In which case the parent directory is automatically checked out followed by a separate update on the working folder so it includes the files you chose.

Thanks

You can do exactly the same things with SmartSVN, check out non-recursively
and for step 3 use "Modify|Update More".
