You might want to read some more Subversion documentation (like the
Subversion book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ ).

If you just import something into Subversion, e.g. into /trunk, that
will be everything which is in your Subversion repository, therefore you
only get that on checkout. If you convert an existing CVS repository, it
might contain branches and tags etc. and cvs2svn will of course convert
these and put them at the right place in your Subversion repository.

If you have a Subversion repository which contains multiple directories,
you may simply check out any part of the directory structure like this:

  svn checkout <your-repository-url>/branches/mybranch
or
  svn checkout <your-repository-url>/trunk

Say, you access your repository via file:///my/path/to/repo, then you
may simply check out:
  svn checkout file:///my/path/to/repo/branches/mybranch
and Subversion will only create a directory mybranch containing
everything from the directory in the repository.

Hope that helps,

Tino.
