Yes. And one that lots of people ask for, but neither the Debian-SF
maintainers nor the Gforge people have had time to address yet.

Excellent. I hereby invite you to grab the Gforge sources[1], read
them, understand them (and the associated packaging code), and provide
patches[2] for a gforge-svn package (or a subversion plugin if you
prefer). I'll be happy to commit these patches to CVS (provided they
work, obviously :-)

PS: Yes, this is a statement of intent to migrate Alioth to Gforge in
the nearest possible future. I'm getting tired of maintaining three
branches of code.
