I have a bunch of interconnected projects which share the same project tree. I'm looking for a version control system which provides a possibility to checkout a subset of the project tree.

If my the full project tree looks like this:

Project Root
 |-Feature1
 |  |-SubFeature11
 |  \-SubFeature12
 |-Feature2
 |  |-SubFeature21
 |  \-SubFeature22
 |-file1
 \-file2

I want be able to checkout only subset like this:

Project Root
 |-Feature1
 |  \-SubFeature12
 |-Feature2
 |  \-SubFeature22
 |-file1
 \-file2

So do you know any version control system that allows to do selective checkout or a view on a repository?
