Hi,
As far as I know there's no bidirectional gateway that allow CVS and
bzr to keep in sync (you can mirror CVS into a bzr branch, but you
can't merge bzr back to CVS).
You'll also need to convert the repository; I don't think there's a
standard way to do so, so you need to check how you want to convert
it, which branches you want to retain (one branch = one
sub-repository), etc.
I activated the bzr feature for the Gnash Savannah project.
I did some tests and apparently loggerhead (the web viewer) doesn't
like my gnash test repo very much and stalls easily. We can try again
once you have a converted repository, but maybe we'll have to wait for
its long awaited new version, as previously suggested.
