[Gwm-general] Fencepost access

[Tabatha Persad]

Hello again Ramakrishnan,

I type the command:
export CVS_RSH=ssh

And then:
cvs -z3 address@hidden:/webcvs/ co gwm

And if I only type that the first thing of course that it tells me is that 
"address@hidden:/webcvs/" is not a valid command.

If I am supposed to checkout the GWM project, I'm afraid I can't because I 
don't know what to check out, and I think that's part of why I'm not 
successful.

I get close when I type:
cvs -d:ext:address@hidden:/webcvs/ -z3 co gwm

But it asks me for a password, which I shouldn't require, because I did 
submit a key on my savannah account online yesterday.  I keep hearing about 
fencepost access, perhaps this is the missing piece?

Please let me know if you can see here what I'm missing, as I just can't seem 
to get it to work for me....

Thanks in advance,
Tabatha Persad
