I use `tla-cvs-sync':

   http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/tla-tools/tla-cvs-sync

I think the most noteworthy functional difference from cscvs[*] is that
tla-cvs-sync makes absolutely no attempt to construct "proper
changesets" in the CVS->arch direction -- it just bundles up all changes
since the last time it was run as a single changeset.

[*] But I really only have the vaguest idea about what cscvs does.
