vcs.sv to be working okay for me.  I tested 'cvs up' and 'git pull'
both over ssh and both worked okay for me.

Hmm...  The banner is this part:

  $ connect vcs.savannah.gnu.org 22 < /dev/null
  SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.9

System load looks healthy.  As expected and normal there are a handful
of bzr, git, cvs processes running all fairly recently.  Seem okay.

Can you try from a different system, say, fencepost?  I think there
might be a problem between you and vcs.sv.  Using a test system would
help to isolate it.
