Just apply the "svn switch" trick, and check out that single directory
from the AdaCore CVS tree?  (Assuming that AdaCore continues to use
CVS.)

If this results in unwanted output from "svn status", we probably
should set the svn:ignore property on the dummy directory
svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/emptydir to "*".
