using tortoise SVN, how can I checkout just a single file?  here 
it complains about only wanting to checkout directories.... which 
is a bit dumb IMHO.


note, this checkout occurs in a new checkout area, the directories 
on the repository aren't anywhere else.  I just want to pick out 
one file from a repository and use just that elsewhere.

try svn cat   and copy /pipe the result where you want
