CVS.EXE for Subversion?
Hi all...new here...I'm running JBuilder X Enterprise and I would like to
try out Subversion with that, but it only supports CVS. I'm kinda tired of
a new JB upgrade coming out every 4-5 months and having to shell out all
kinds of $$$ for it. I'm not going to upgrade to JB 2005 just to get
Subversion access...not at this point any way.
I've scanned the list archives and don't see what I am looking for which is
a CVS-named executable that takes arguments in the format CVS would expect,
converts them to their SVN equivalents, calls the SVN client, and then
converts the results into the format CVS would return. Any such beast out
there? An alternate suggestion perhaps?

This is an impossible pipe dream, in my opinion. CVS and SVN vaguely
look and feel the same, but a lot of concepts are radically
different. There's no way you could get a clean semantic translation
by merely doing syntactic manipulation... that way lies madness,
sorry. :-)
