I'm pretty sure I've used :ext: (ssh) protocol to check out SF
projects on which I am not a developer.  Do you have a SF account, and
have you ssh'd into shell.sf.net to cause your home directory to be
created?

If this doesn't work out, and you're going to do testing, and this is
still a problem, we'll just make you a project developer.
