I was using the mailing list htdig search facility which doesn't perform nearly so well as Google: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&format=builtin-long&sort=time&config=htdig&restrict=%2Fml%2Fcygwin-apps%2F&words=upset+cvs Compare this with: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cygwin+upset+cvs In particular, the summaries don't give you a good idea of the content. Should users be directed away from the htdig searching? Or even better, just use Google to do the searching within cygwin.com. I obviously wasted considerable time in the wrong maze when I would normally have used Google. Also, note that if there had been a link in this page: http://cygwin.com/cvs.html to this location: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/?cvsroot=sourceware then it would have been possible to find it by looking at the repository. After the hint from the email posting, I guessed the possibility of going "up" the cvs tree and hand edited the link which is how I got to this page. Not the most direct route. Just trying to help other travellers.
