This old issue looks fixed now (fsfe displays accurate cvs instructions).

I received:

"Thanks....  but, there's still a problem.

The FAQ question (CVS - How do I start using the repository?) now says to
look at the "Project Member CVS Access via SSH" section of your project's
Repositories page, but for project fsfe, that section is blank:

https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=fsfe

The "Anonymous CVS Access" section says:

  This project's CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous CVS
  over SSH with the following instruction set.

But there aren't any instructions anywhere on the Repositories page.

(So now rather than give a wrong cvs command for checking out the repositry,
 no command is given)
"

Sorry about the delay, this message was lost somewhere in my mail inbox :/ (hence why we recommend to use the tracker ;))

I'll look into it asap, but I can't right now.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. I cleaned-up some FAQ, and among others I referenced the project CVS documentation in yours :)

The FAQ entry "CVS - How do I start using the repository?" gives the following command for checking out a repository:

cvs -z3 -duser@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/project co project

and says to substitute your username and project name for "user" and "project"

It should also say to substitute "webcvs" for "cvsroot" if the project is a GNU web project.  I'd be embarrassed to say how long this took me to figure out :)
