I used to recommend lightweight checkouts for this kind of problem:

But I've since found out there is a bug that makes them fairly
useless, IMO:

Anyway, it might work for you; or perhaps you could use one of the
unoffical mirrors that offer the repository in alternative formats.

I can only refer you to an unofficial mirror:
