...and keeping cvs access won't double the size of everyone's source 
repository immediately. :)

There's this:-
http://sam.zoy.org/writings/programming/svn2cvs.html

Mainly about migration, but he mentions a post commit script to mirror svn 
changes into cvs.

Having said that... I don't think keeping cvs access is worthwhile in the long 
term. Might be worth having a plan and saying something like after the next 
major release the repository will be svn only or something.

BTW Don't know if you've discovered it yet... but the very useful svn annotate 
is unusably slow on files with long commit histories.
