I'm about 2/3 of the way thru making this happen - diff and views are left along with a pass thru to 
make sure I haven't missed anything.

Basically I'm adding svn* versions of all of the cvs* files and tweaking the global routines to not be cvs 
centric.

My local testing is for svn only - not even considering being able to mix cvs and svn yet.

I'm posting this comment to see if anyone else is still interested in this

I'm still looking for such a beast ;-)

How do tools like ViewVC (which supports both CVS and Subversion) compare to Bonsai? Are there features that are just Bonsai-specific that ViewVC doesn't have?

bear, you should probably attach your patch here so that others can continue the work on it if they like...

[Mike Taylor [:bear]]

at the urging of timely I have created a branch to start putting the changes I've made so others can help test and work on the code.

I will post here when I do the initial commit (sometime this weekend)

Bonsai was decommissioned, closing all remaining bugs "wontfix"
