Yeah, there's no problem with being selective about what you checkout.

My question was more from a perspective of what do we gain by having  
separate repos, when we lose for PECL (in particular) the ability to  
merge (and track) changes between php-src and PECL.

FWIW, I'm strongly opposed to having php-src and pecl be in separate  
repos, because this kind of merging happens often.
