I think the OP wants a way to package up the complete history of e.g. a branch in e.g. a zip file and be able to unzip that somewhere outside subversion and still see all the history. Quite why is a mystery.

My short answer to the OP is: there is no simple way to do this. It is not something that subversion is designed for. You could do it by hand with quite a lot of effort (writing a script would probably help). Like Uli said, perhaps if you tell us why we might be able to help better.
