Hello,
Where are the version control repositories for packages missing from
https://cygwin.com/git/ and https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/ like
bash and git?
Thank you,
Kyle Marek

use the source packages.
The version control is not implemented or updated for most of the packages.
I am slowing moving mine to the central repository
at https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/

Is there an archive of previous versions?

any mirror should have several previous releases
each one with its own source package
EG with a mirror near me in Germany:
ftp://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/x86_64/release/bash/
Datei:bash-4.4.11-2-src.tar.xz
9166 KB 23.01.2017 01:00:00
Datei:bash-4.4.12-3-src.tar.xz
9168 KB 27.01.2017 01:00:00
Datei:bash-4.4.5-1-src.tar.xz
9163 KB 13.12.2016 01:00:00

Quoting my response to someone asking a similar question back in
December (https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-December/247042.html
for the full context):

For what it's worth, the Git repository is at
https://github.com/me-and/Cygwin-Git; I'm vaguely planning on
mirroring it at https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/ at some point
in the future, but setting that up is fairly low on my priority list.

Cygwin Time Machine retains setup (including source) packages only, not
guaranteed to have every version, not a browsable file repo, organized by
setup.ini timestamp, with associated Cygwin Setup Program versions available:

Cygwin 64 back 7 years to 2013:
http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/64bit/index.html
Cygwin 32 back 22 years to 1998 (works on Windows '95/'98 pre-1.7 and NT):
