Ok, I've got this working now:
$ svn co svn+ssh://bothner@sources.redhat.com/svn/kawa/trunk kawa
[though I haven't tried a check-in yet]

What do I do about cvs commit messages - the kawa-cvs mailing list?
I assume that is what Ian referred to rather cryptically by
"archive off".

What do I do to get viewcvs or whatever should replace cvsweb?
