I'm on windows, running Eclipse Indigo with Subersive for connecting to a REMOTE svn repo.

I have a project checked out into a local folder. There are some directories in the project that I want to exclude from the check-in check-out process.

How can I do this? (I do not have SVN installed on windows, and WILL NOT install it separately due to various reasons.)

Set the svn:ignore property to the list of files/directories that you want to ignore on the directory that contains them.

The easiest way to do it seems to be through the "Team" context menu: http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/documentation/teamSupport/SVNaction/ignore_vc.php
