svn - how to save commits when server is unavailable

Assume svn server is not available for couple of days (for example you are in place with no internet connection).

I can keep working and commit when svn is back but this is not convenient because all my changes will go to only one revision.

Instead I want to "checkpoint" revisions locally and when svn is back I want to commit bunch of revisions.

In other words - different bug fixes should go to different revisions.

I understand I can create local svn server and then synchronize servers. But can I do what I want to do without creating extra svn server?

Local SVN-server (and switch command) or DVCS - you haven't more than these two options.

Contrary to git-boys, I suggest to use Mercurial and hgsubversion as more transparent and brain-powered bridge to Subversion

As Jake Feasel mentioned, git is probably the best way to go. If that's not an option you could create patches (diffs) each time you want to have a checkpoint. When the repository is available again, make a clean checkout, patch, commit, patch, commit &c.

Since you've already rejected the local-svn repos option.... perhaps you should look into git? And git-svn?
