Florian, I do not understand what exactly you need, but I wrote `this
tool`_ that lets me keep in sync 3rd party software (kept under CVS
upstream) with my own SVN repository of the stuff. Now and then, I
run "cvsync.py" that performs a "cvs update", distill the changes,
eventually does a "cvs log" on each, does the needed "svn add"/"svn
remove" and then goes for a "svn commit -m collected-logs".

.. _this tool: http://nautilus.homeip.net/~lele/cvsync.tar.gz

Hope this helps,
ciao, lele.
