You can svnsync the remote repository to a repository you create on
your local computer, on which you presumably have permissions to do
anything you want. Note that you don't even need to set up apache or
svnserve; you can sync to a repository you just created with
"svnadmin create". Then, once the sync is done, you can do whatever
you want with your copy of the repository, including svnsync it
somewhere else, svnadmin hotcopy it, svnadmin dump it, etc.
