Since you've already done all the work for bk2cvs, why not add the functionality to bkd which would allow a simple client to do lobobk cvsclone and lobobk cvspull Ie be able to clone and update a local cvs repo from bkd? This would have the added advantage that users (kernel testers) could get any tagged versions from their local repo using cvs, rather than requiring diff trasmission from bkd to convert to another version. The client would be very simple too. Obviously the local cvs repo would be read-only, and only useful for people to fetch sources. Bitkeeper would be required for development work. It would make the perfect mirroring tool aswell. And when you've finished that, I'd like a moon rocket please.
