+I asked about this on IRC and was directed to http://rsvndump.sourceforge.net/ as a tool that can be used to download their SVN repository.  
+I'd *really* like to see this happen and be somewhere that everyone has access to (i.e. not have me try to do it myself).  If there's anything 
+needed to help make this happen, I'm willing to help however I can.  I'd really hate for us to lose MDV's SVN packages repository.
