(A subsequent command is needed with git submodules, which I see have no supporters here, so I'll refrain from saying "git submodule update --init --recursive" ...oops. :) > If git can't automatically check out newlib as a submodule then we could > just include a 'tag' script somewhere in cygwin.

It seems natural to amend the top-level src-release makefile with targets newlib.tar.bz2 and cygwin.tar.bz2, similar to sim, binutils and gdb that were at one time CVS modules (with the obvious caveat of no-longer-shared toplevel files). You'd have the git-checkout containing everything, but at least you can create official-release-type and snapshot tar-balls with the expected contents. brgds, H-P
