Igor, thanks for the pointers.

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.

Jim
