Not a problem. I've converted loki_setup, loki_setupdb, and loki_patch, 
but the original CVS repos are still there. The revision history (all 
the way back to Loki Software's days) is still intact in the subversion 
repository.

Here's your basic rundown on Subversion:
1) Get a subversion client. If your distro doesn't package it, get it 
from http://subversion.tigris.org/ ... 1.2.0 is the latest, and I 
recommend it (we're using it on i.o)...any version back to 1.0.0 will 
work, though.
2) Stephane will give out write access; this is not tied to an 
icculus.org shell account and thus needs no intervention from me for 
basic user maintanance. Stephane, you edit 
/svnspace/public/loki_setup/conf/passwd to give people write access. The 
password is not sent in the clear over the wire, but since it IS cached 
as plaintext on the client and you will have access to them yourself, 
the passwords should be throwaway nonsense and not a meaningful string 
used elsewhere. Those that don't have a login will have read-only 
access, like usual CVS usage.
3) Move your current working tree out of the way and do a fresh checkout:

   svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/loki_setup/trunk/ loki_setup
   svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/loki_setupdb/trunk/ loki_setupdb
   svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/loki_patch/trunk/ loki_patch

If you want the 2.0 branch, do this instead:

   svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/loki_setup/branches/SETUP_2_0/ loki_setup
     (...etc...)


Then, things work more or less like CVS: "svn update", "svn commit", 
"svn diff", etc.

To use ViewCVS (which is really ViewSubversion, in this case):
   http://svn.icculus.org/loki_setup
   http://svn.icculus.org/loki_setupdb
   http://svn.icculus.org/loki_patch
