I'm not sure where you get that idea about MacCVS Pro, it's quite
actively maintained, and the source code is in good shape. It does
use its own CVS client code, which has advantages (it's much cleaner)
and disadvantages (it can behave a bit differently and lacks some
features of the command-line CVS.

I'm not very familiar with the internals of either MacCVS Pro or
Goliath, but they both have decent interfaces and could potentially
approach the problem of a Subversion client from opposite directions.
Goliath works fine against Subversion now, though it's read-only of
course.
