I always use this blog post to do exactly that:

http://subtlegradient.com/articles/2008/04/22/cloning-a-git-svn-clone

and it works very nicely. So please publish your repository somewhere,
so that others don't have to reclone the whole svn repo.

Thanks,

P.S. Michael, you should learn git. :)

P.P.S. Sorry I still didn't have time to port our 3D plotting from
sympy to matplotlib. Seems like a lot of people would welcome that,
but someone just needs to do it.
