Has anyone tried some software called "Katie"? It's billed as a cross between
CVS and NFS. There's a home page for it at

i have created a sourceforge a project named cvsfs
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsfs/). Recently i uploaded the first
sources to the cvs repository at sourceforge. The intention was (at
first) to show that it is possible that such a beast is working.
The actual version is able to connect to a cvs pserver and mount a
project into a local directory. Actually it displays only files and
directories (but no sizes and dates) so that you can navigate through
the tree with your favourite disk manager.
For (the acrual working) example you can do
mount -t cvsfs -o cvsroot=/cvsroot/cvsfs
//cvs.cvsfs.sourceforge.net/cvsfs <mount-point>
which is similar to the setting
CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/cvsfs
cvs co cvsfs
but you don't have to check out all files to see which files are in the
project.
There are a lot of things to do to get a fully functional filesystem. So
contributors are welcome.

Petric
P.S.: This is my first vfs kernel driver, so don't expect the files
being perfect ...
