the first checkout is something like this:

svnlite checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/11 /usr/src

or

svnlite checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/base/head /usr/src

You update your sources later with

svnlite update usr/src

Yes, it will download the full source tree as the make file decides
during the building process what source files have to be used.
