It's all documented:

https://cygwin.com/git.html
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin

Creating snapshots was a really outdated method.  It relied on on a
non-standard, third-party script system, which started to fray at the
edges.  So we switched to an automated build system which creates test
releases on every Cygwin-related change to the git repository instead.
When we did that I think I even made a matching announcement on the
mailing list.
