I believe that our instructions for accessing Savannah are missing a few steps which any GCC developers likely wouldn't have noticed, since they were already required for our cvs write access.

a) You must have SSHv2 installed.
b) You must set CVS_RSH="ssh".

Here is an update for our webdocs. Passes validator.w3.org.

OK to install?
