Details:

Does Savannah have the equivalent of SourceForge's nightly tarballs as
documented here?

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=29894&group_id=1#nightly_tarballs

For example, I used to back up the MH-E CVS files with

wget -q http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/mh-e-cvsroot.tar.bz2

so I'd have a backup of the CVS files in case something Really Bad Happened
at SourceForge or in the unlikely case that I wanted to move the repository.
I'd like to do the same thing now that I'm now using Savannah as the primary
CVS repository for MH-E.

One complication is MH-E is a part of Emacs. I suspect that both you and I
would not appreciate my downloading a tarball of the Emacs CVS repository
every night. I'd be prepared to create a filelist and/or a script to produce
the tarball if you'd be willing to cron it.

Please let me know if you already have such a mechanism in place, or whether
you'd be willing to entertain it. Thanks!
