[Bug-gnubg] Changes on the gnubg cvs server

[Philippe Michel]

The FSF folks who manage cvs.savannah.gnu.org where the gnubg sources are 
stored upgraded this server a few days ago :

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2016-12/msg00014.html

This was apparently supposed to be transparent, but I had a minor issue 
regarding the cvs root. In the above message they write :

anonymous read-only cvs checkouts, both cvs and webcvs. Example:
 cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/<project> co <module>

SSH access (read-only for all savannah users, write access for project 
members):
 cvs -z3 -d:ext:<USER>@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/<project> co <module>

But I had cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnubg as root path. I didn't 
invent the "cvsroot" part so it must be what was in gnubg's docs when I 
joined the project. I suppose there was some renaming at some point at 
savannah and I missed it.

The backward compatibility of cvsroot as path apparently stopped with the 
recent upgrade, so if you cannot access the repository any more, you may 
want to check the cvs root you use and change it if needed.
