I tried to do it locally but failed because it is difficult to select
necessary and sufficient changes. So I'm now thinking of packaging
latest snapshot of upstream repository on GitHub. And I have one
question.

Is there any .cygport file that downloads snapshot of repository on
GitHub as source archive?

I'd like to refer to it in order to package latest snapshot of tmux.

Best Regards.
