Ideally the public repo follows the development closely, including
bugs and mistakes.  We all learn only from those :)  IMHO it could
be pretty helpful to feed the changes from the patch file in small
chunks into the repo, and then your follow up patches and reversions
afterwards.  So a history stays visible, even if partially faked.

In case of cygutils, given how this is a Cygwin-only tool and we have
full control over it, the public repo should be the one-stop-shop for
code.  There's no reason for a non-git patch file at all these days.

No reason to apologize!  You wrote in your mail how Chuck had his stuff
in CVS originally.  Additionally the stuff wasn't packed with cygport
at one point.  All this had a big influence on how the files were
packed.  I, for one, am grateful that you pull the package into modern
times.

Thanks to you,
