There was also ctm(1).  ctm is small, BSD-licensed and has been part
of FreeBSD forever (almost).  Thanks to stephen@, ctm deltas for
various src trees, as well as the entire SVN repo are still available.
c[v]sup can do things than aren't possible with ctm but I would expect
that most people who currently use c[v]sup could readily migrate to
using ctm.

See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ctm.html for details.

Note that mirroring the actual SVN repo via ctm requires some patches.
There is a README and patches in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/svn-cur/
