My comment about emacs support was based on a conversation I had with 
Felix a few weeks ago, who had said he'd had to hack together something 
to do the job.  I also noticed that svn was not on the list of supported 
backends for pcl-cvs (at least not on the Options screen).  I've since 
found vc-svn.el and psvn.el -- the latter claims to be like pcl-cvs.  
But I've not tried either, and I'm trying to be a little conservative in 
how many new (to me) technologies I try at once.

I've certainly got enough pointers for now, though.  Thanks all.  I'll 
let you know when I get into trouble.
