Since it didn't already exists, I've created 
git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/coreutils.git using a new tool I've 
been working on ('ctm2git') which synthesizes a git history of the 
packaging for a package from the source package history in the CTM.

If that's not wanted, please let me know and I'll remove it.
