I am trying to update a project's webpages after a new release, but every time I issue a cvs command the message is printed:
> sv_membersh is part of Savane. > In order to download the corresponding source code of Savane, run > > rsync -avz --cvs-exclude ga...@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/opt/src/savane . I don't know what sv_membersh or Savane is or why I should care. This message was not printed before and is distracting and confusing. I have updated GNU webpages using CVS many times over several years and never had this message before. Using CVS from the command line is fiddly enough as it is (as I only use CVS infrequently to update GNU webpages I don't use it enough to be comfortable with it) without having extra messages to worry about. This message looks like an advert to me and isn't helpful. If I wanted to download the source code of Savane I would look for it myself, without having it shoved in my face. Can this unnecessary and annoying message please be removed? Thank you for your work on Savannah.
