CVS to Subversion gateway?

[Mike Mason <mg...@thoughtworks.net>]

I'm working on a project that's hosted on SourceForge, and there's a lot 
of momentum to keep using SourceForge and CVS. I'd rather use 
Subversion, but discussion so far has shot this down (and that's okay -- 
CVS mostly works, why change something that's broken?). I'm thinking 
about running some kind of CVS to Subversion gateway, so I can use 
Subversion to commit to the project and everyone else can use CVS, and 
wanted to ask if anyone's done something like this before.

I've previously done this for a small team, in order to avoid using 
StarTeam, but this was based on a shared checkout and manual merging. 
I'd rather have some kind of automatic process that mirrored changes 
from CVS immediately into SVN, and from SVN back into CVS.

I know the Linux kernel is run from a BitKeeper repository, and has at 
least a BK to CVS conversion that runs overnight -- does anyone know of 
a "live mirroring" mechanism?

Thanks,
Mike.

There are some perl modules for mirroring, but nothing that has a SVN to
CVS export.  As far as I know at least.

I am still in the early stages of writing one in C.
If some clued people feel like helping I'd be happy to work together on
it. :)
