Also note that you can re-checkout the same module, which acts like
update in the sense you want it to - it will update only those files
that are part of the module. This is also good if you add files/dirs
to the module - it's doesn't prune files and dirs if you remove them
from the module definition, however. A bit of a work around, but maybe
it will help you.
