Geoffrey,

I checked your user record on Savannah. You need to register an ssh public key 
before you will be able to check out emacs. Pserver is only available for 
anonymous, read-only access. 

You can add your key by going to: 
https://savannah.gnu.org/my/admin/editsshkeys.php

Please allow time for the key to be enabled (I think the cron job runs 
hourly). 

The instructions for checking out emacs are here:
https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs
(Under 'Project Member CVS Access via SSH')


Please let us know if you have further problems with this.

Cheers,

Steven
