Indeed, and I've suggested it in the past as a good project for someone
to get familiar with the client/server protocol.  Alas, no one has taken
me up on it.  Your best bet is to ask the administrator of the current
repository whether they support any remote access tools like CVSup or
rsync.  If not, ask if they'll tar up your portion of the repository for
you.
