Norm's given a good comprehensive reply, but one thing to point out which may not be obvious -- with subversion you don't take any kind of lock when you checkout. My understanding of it is that a checkout is really just a download of a given version of the files to your machine. There is a separate operation to take a lock on file(s), but this is explicit. Other source control tools do checkout+lock as one, this may be what you're thinking of in your reluctance to checkout all files in subversion.
