Spam message when using CVS for webpages |

I am trying to update a project's webpages after a new release, but
every time I issue a cvs command the message is printed:
> sv_membersh is part of Savane.
> In order to download the corresponding source code of Savane, run
>
> rsync -avz --cvs-exclude gavin@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/opt/src/savane .
I don't know what sv_membersh or Savane is or why I should care.
This message was not printed before and is distracting and confusing. I
have updated GNU webpages using CVS many times over several years and never
had this message before.
Using CVS from the command line is fiddly enough as it is (as I only
use CVS infrequently to update GNU webpages I don't use it enough to be
comfortable with it) without having extra messages to worry about.
This message looks like an advert to me and isn't helpful. If I wanted
to download the source code of Savane I would look for it myself, without
having it shoved in my face.
Can this unnecessary and annoying message please be removed?
Thank you for your work on Savannah.
