Work arounds for access to public SVN projects behind a proxy?

At work our proxy server blocks all out going connections apart from HTTP commands. Even then most of them are blocked apart from the obvious (POST, etc.) This makes it nigh on impossible to checkout web based public SVN projects. Does anyone have any suggestions (yes my proxy settings are setup to use the company proxy!) that provide a way to do this? I h开发者_运维知识库ave tried tunneling in to my machine at home to no avail.

Use secure https:// protocol instead of http://.
