The pass phrase is the text used by ssh to confirm that you are the
holder of the ssh key being used to contact savannah.
In effect it is a password.
You will have to enter it everytime you use a CVS command for
subversions (the savannah CVS server).
It does not have to be the same as your savannah account password
(but it's obviously easier to remember if it is the same).
