Ah! This is very useful information IMHO.
Unfortunately I'm not aware of any pre-built softare that does this. Others
may be able to complete my gap in knowledge.
If there isn't, then:
1) If your needs are narrow, it seems it would be pretty simple to write a
small wrapper around CVS. This could be run locally as a script or as a
daemon listening on a port. (I'm assuming a Un*x environment where such
things are common practice. Windows IMHO is a big pain in this area.)
2) If your needs are more involved, it'd be more work obviously. At that
point it may be worth a full-blown web service, and the parameters of your
project will dictate details.
3) A simpler possibility if you need information to be collected upon commit
(for example), one could trigger a program per the various "*info" files in
CVSROOT.
4) Others smarter than me probably have better ideas.

If you attack expecting to prevail, do it in full strength, because a
surplus of victory never caused any conqueror one pang of remorse.
