I was simply using the command that appears in the Savannah Web page:

  cvs -d subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co CVSROOT

Actually, this didn't work, so I used what I thought _should_ have
been there:

  cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs co CVSROOT

This asked to "cvs login" first, which sounded reasonable, since I
never used /cvsroot/emacs.  So I typed

  cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs login

and was prompted for a password.

Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't reveal anything
interesting:

 > cvsroot -t login
 (Logging in to address@hidden)
 CVS password:
 CVS [login aborted]: authorization failed: server subversions.gnu.org rejected 
access

 > cvsroot -t co CVSROOT
 CVS checkout: cannot find password
 CVS [checkout aborted]: use "cvs login" to log in first
