Hello Reuben, hello Bob,

The problem is that I am unable to connect to any of the repositories:
CVS (www), Git (www-fr), and even emailselfdefense (enc)! And MCSim's
maintainer, Frédéric Bois, told me at 13:20 UTC that he couldn't reach
his CVS repo either. But this may be unrelated to Savannah because we
have the same ISP (Free SAS).

This is what I have been getting all day:

-----------------------
~/enc (master) $ git pull                  <-- Email Self-Defense
Connection closed by 208.118.235.160
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
-----------------------
~/www-fr (master) $ git pull
Connection closed by 208.118.235.72
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
-----------------------
~/www $ cvs update
Connection closed by 208.118.235.72
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if
any)
-----------------------

The last time I committed to www was on 7 May 2016 20:40:14.
But I can connect to fencepost by SSH.

I'm going to ask Frédéric whether he finally committed to his repo, but
I would be surprised if he did.

Thanks a lot anyway for fixing the permissions.

Thérèse
