(sorry if something like this has been pointed out, only just seen this
last message).

trac (http://projects.edgewall.com/trac) have just added the ability to
download a zip of any svn folder to their web-based bug tracking system
with svn integration.

They have added a config option, download_paths which allows you to
limit what paths in the repo can be downloaded as zip file e.g.

; Any directory can be downloaded
download_paths = *

; Limit to individual releases and trunk
download_paths = trunk;releases/*

etc.

Cheers
