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.
