Mirroring (part of) an SVN repository

I'm trying to set up Tailor to mirror an SVN repository (to a local SVN 
repository).

I can pretty easily do that for a particular subdirectory, like /trunk. 
But I'm at loss how to mirror change-sets in /trunk /branches and /tags 
occurring after a specified revision.

I cannot give the parent level as 'module', since Tailor tries to perform:

   svn co repo-path@revision

This would produce an enormous working copy as each of the branches and 
tags would get exploded, mostly lots of obsolete tags and branches that 
I'm not interested in. Luckily the SVN server doesn't allow this 
operation, as I get:

   svn: REPORT request failed on '/repos/path/!svn/vcc/default'
   svn: REPORT of '/repos/path/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request

Basically I'd like to track /trunk and any tags and branches that are 
created out of it. But I could settle for specifying what branches to 
mirror in addition to /trunk and /tags.

However, I don't see any way to specify multiple paths as a module. And 
if I specify multiple projects, they are processed one after another and 
cannot therefore maintain change-sets touching several projects nor the 
order of the change-sets.

Am I completely off-base here or is there really no way to support this 
-- what I believe to be a common -- use-case?
