Updating Repository to Revision

Consider the following scenario.

I have an SVN repository. I have it checked out on my disk with custom checkout depth i.e., Only some of the directories are checked out onto my disk. For example, if branches has two folders A and B and under my custom depth, I only selected folder A to be checked out.

branches
  |___A
  |___B
    |___C
    |___D
Tags
Trunk

Folder B is used by another team. I want the data in only folder C under folder B. So, I right click in the repo location and select "Update to Revision".

In the Repo Browser that opens when I click on choose items button in the Update to Revision dialog

  1. I have to expand all sub directories under A which have been checked out earlier so that the remaining sub directories which were not selected will be added
  2. When I check only folder C under folder B and uncheck all other directories, they get deleted when I update.

How do I update to Folder C under folder B without updating Folder A?

I do not understand question completely, but:

TortoiseSVN has cumbersome way for choose items for checkout, so I usually prefer use command line. It is easier and need only once

For example:

svn co --depth immediates http://host/repo/myrepo .
svn up --set-depth empty branches
svn up --set-depth infinity branches\A
svn up --set-depth empty branches\B
svn up --set-depth infnity branches\B\C

This should produce 

branches (has only A, B)
  |___A (has all)
  |___B (has only C)
    |___C (has all)
tags (empty)
trunk (empty)
