We recently set up a public Subversion repo automatically tracking some of D.O. CVS. Module/theme selection is quite limited (~150 modules, 10 themes) -- more modules will be added upon request. We especially like using it with a private project repo and svn:externals, pulling in all the standard modules and their dependencies (e.g. devel+Krumo+FirePHP).
Please do give it a spin and let me know how you feel about it:

This looks handy
About to try this out as part of porting a theme from D5 -> D6 and from a Zen 0.6 Base to Zen 1.x, and try and get my head round subversion externals. You may well have saved me a lot of wrestling with maintaing a vendor branch or getting my head round cvs2svn or even worse actually using cvs.
Thanks!
subversible mirror down :(
unfortunately the subversible.com site, seems to be down... on the other hand, there are now git mirrors of drupal core and contrib, so most of what i was using this for (creating unified diff patches of core) for updating between minor versions without overriding a couple necessary hacks (i know, dont hack core) can be done with git.
fwiw, i asked a lot about how to create such unified diff patches of tags in CVS and no one seemed to step forward with this crucial information. I couldnt find anything in cvs documentation about such a thing either.
