Yes, unfortunately.  Here is a message I just received:

  Subject: [Savannah-announce] Savannah outage

  Hi,

  Savannah experienced a filesystem corruption and is now halted.

  The FSF sysadmins (who have physical access to the hardware) are
  alerted and will investigate, and possibly restore from backup.

  To be safe, do not expect the service to be restored before 24h,
  although we'll do our best to do so :)

  The website, CVS/SVN/Git/Hg/Bzr, and the download area are affected.
  The mailing lists and webpages are not affected.

If this outage lasts for very long, we could try using an alternate
locate for the archive until it returns.  

  http://velveeta.che.wisc.edu//hg/octave

is available, but I can't easily offer pushing to this archive.  But
we could get by with using this location for a while if people sent
changsets to me and I pushed them to this public location.  Or,
perhaps someone else could set up a public archive that we could push
to via https, and then set up accounts for the same people who have
commit access on savannah.  In any case, I hope service on savannah is
restored soon.

My personal archive that is synced with savannah, as well as the one
on velveeta.che.wisc.edu are both at the following revision:
