There is svk (http://svk.elixus.org/) - it's a distributed version 
control system built on top of Subversion.

It can be used to mirror [parts of] remote repository and to create 
"offline branches" for personal expirements. Svk also supports advanced 
star-merge algorithm for merge-tracking and usually works much faster 
than svn.

And the best part: svk is a pure client-side application and it requires 
no modifications to SVN server.
