We're investigating an issue relating to anonymous vcs access
(e.g. git clone git://XXXXX), see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2016-05/msg00037.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2016-05/msg00040.html

If your access method is anonymous git (as opposed to ssh), then this might be 
related.

Please try again now and let us know if you can access the repositories.

fencepost.gnu.org is not related to savannah's servers.

However a good test is to connect to savannah by ssh, like so (replace 'agn' 
with your savannah user):

  $ ssh address@hidden date
  You tried to execute: date
  Sorry, you are not allowed to execute that command.

If you get the same message ("not allowed...") it is a good sign:
it means you were able to connect to the savannah server by SSH
(committing code using git/cvs/svn use the same SSH method).
