The (unaudited) Savannah cvs files are now available at 

  http://savannah.gnu.org/statement.html

where you will find the following instructions:

---------

For example, to check out the CVS module "axiom" in the Savannah
project of the same name, as it existed in the Savannah CVS tree
when we brought the system down, you would need to use the following
commands:

  export CVS_RSH="ssh"
  cvs -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvs-latest/axiom co axiom

If you already have a subversions.gnu.org entry in your ~/.ssh/config
file with a "Protocol 1" line, you will need to change it to "Protocol
2".

I just tested this and it works for me.
