CC.NET prevent certain folders from being retrieved on SVN build

Question

Is it possible to configure a selection of folders that will not be retrieved from SVN when running a build under CC.NET?

I am releasing from my Trunk directory and there are folders within the Trunk folder that I do not want to retrieve as they contain large files that are not required for the build, we just keep them in SVN for tracking purposes. For example,

Trunk

• Folder 1
• Folder 2 - don't want to include this one on an SVN update
• Folder 3

Our other build servers use SourceGear Vault and you can Cloak a folder given a user account, which means it will not be retrieved from a "Get Latest" request. This is how we did it for those environments.

Subversion itself supports Sparse Directories - not sure if you can make CC.NET use those, though.
