This is a wrong command; you should checkout using your login:

export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d:ext:aschw...@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/gslip co gslip

In order to do this, you'll need an access to your ssh key
(the key you registered in your Savannah account); by the way,
ssh may not find it if you generated a key with a non-default
name (e.g. ~/.ssh/savannah-key.pub and ~/.ssh/savannah-key
rather than ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub); you'll need
ssh-agent in order to use such keys.

You don't need cvs login, just cvs add, like this your command:

...and then

cvs commit index.html

This is because you checked out web pages anonymously.

I'm sorry you have so many troubles; sometimes it's really hard
to make it for the first time, but then it's much easier.

Hope that helps.
