Currently, developer CVS access is offline for all projects.   Savannah's 
backend scripts are also paused in the mean time, which is why you are most 
likely encountering this error.  This is do to maintenance, with regards to 
Savannah's backend.

We hope to have developer CVS access restored as soon as possible.

News updates related to this matter are posted on Savannah's front page.

Thank you for your patience.
