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.
