Did you follow the instructions at http://www.gnucash.org/en/hacking.phtml to
login to the cvs server?  This is the page you get if you click on "CVS Access"
on the GnuCash website.

You have two options if you just want to look at the report.  You could pull
down everything from CVS as described in the aforementioned page, or you can
click on the Browse Source menu option on the gnucash webpage and then go into
the report/standard-reports/ source directory to find the balance sheet
report.
