There is a project which had an svn server that is down now, but the trac-browser is still available. Is there a simple way to acces that tree as if it was an svn server? Preferably I'd just donwload the whole repo via git-svn, but a wget solution for the current revision would also be great (the trouble with the latter is that simply crawling will download including trac's wrapped around html).

Depending on the Trac server configuration, you may find a "zip" link at the bottom of the source browser for the trunk directory and the branches and tags subdirectories. That will give you a zip archive of that tree at the given revision.

I know I've seen someone write a tool to download a source tree from the Trac browser, but I can't seem to find it. Might have been a post to the trac-dev mailing list.
