What I was looking for was a git repo that contains a branch with the patches that the cygwin folks mutate the official git release with. Such a repo would be quite useful because people could, in theory, use these to produce their own cygwin git builds at arbitrary commits instead of having to wait for cygwin to catch up.
Admittedly, it is not a big deal to build such a branch using the patch from the cygwin package source, but I was just wondering whether there was a well-known repo that contained the patches already.
