Did you ever try out SVK? It was based on svn's libraries and provided for a more disconnected workflow. Most of my code (dating from before git was around) for various projects is in a single subversion tree and I check it out using git or mercurial to provide for local version control. Features like sparse checkout are definitely welcome in git since the industry seems to have standardized on it.
