I do not think CVS and subversion are meant to collaborate. They represent different solutions to the same problem. Deciding which one fits best your project/organization is another story :-).

You can't. Subversion and CVS are both version control systems (Subversion is the successor to CVS and I've heard that in fact a lot of CVS's original developers are in the Subversion team today). You'll have to pick one and stick with it for a given project.

That is correct, the CVS team is basically moving aside and letting Subversion take over. Subversion was built by people that do opensource development for a living and were having problems with some of the downfalls of CVS. These problems were too embedded in the design, so a rewrite was easier/better/faster

If you want to migrate your old CVS projects, Subversion provides a tool (cvs2svn) that allows you to convert CVS repositories to Subversion back ends.

Wow, I'm impressed. Usually developers are too emotionally tied to their projects to admit that something else is better and then move aside.

Three cheers for maturity!
