CVS to Subversion gateway?

From: Mike Mason <mgm_at_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.
