I was wondering if there were any tools to keep a mirror repository of CVS as a git repository.

Basically, I would like to mirror a CVS repository (that I don't control) as a git "main" branch. This CVS repository is live and expected to remain so.

I would then work on another git branch and would do merges from the main branch to mine as I see fit to develop some stuff.

Is there anything like that? Basically, I'm looking for the equivalent of Tailor for Mercurial.

As a second question...

Are there any good websites that can host a git repository? Something equivalent to sourceforge but for git.
