SourceForge CVS is a hell, it was breaking too often.
We dropped it in favor of SVN repository with limited access.

It's not SourceForge's fault that CVS is a hell.
Closed SVN is even worse now.. :(

Have you imported the history at least?

Can I have read access to keep my Git mirror in sync?

It would have been easy to fix btw:

I'm not the one who can answer these questions ;)
Please contact fplangue directly

You should be able to say if the history has been imported (which means that the CVS repo has been converted), e.g. by looking at the SVN log.

AFAIK it has not been converted since we couldn't get a clean copy from CVS, change logs in files were kept though.
Again, please talk to Francois for details.

You're telling me. I converted my SourceForge project to SVN once and I had nothing but problems until the whole repo stopped working. I promptly went back to CVS. I'm considering going to git, but I don't like making everyone download the whole repository (working on the unlikely assumption that anyone actually downloads my program's source code).

@zooplah: what's the problem with downloading compressed history? It's not that much overhead and if someone really is concerned about having not some more megabytes for comfort, there's the possibility of a lightweight checkout (with less history or none at all).
You can still provide just zipped sourcecode snapshots (tarballs), too.. :/ (this is what b2evo currently does).
