Not really. It is not that hard to go from subversion to cvs. The other way
around however will loose information. This is because cvs is not changeset
but file based. So if you would like to put sets of changes as one changeset
into subversion (in a way that somehow you don't loose information on the
identity of the committer) you would need to collect commits, run heuristics
on whether they belong together etc. All in all a messy business.
