What is the easiest way for me to
1. find the differences between the upstream git source and the Cygwin git
source
2. apply those changes to an older build of git
I'd like to try building git 1.5.0.7, with the Cygwin git features turned back
on.
I'd suggest downloading and inspecting the git source packages.
You can see a listing of same here:
http://cygwin.com/packages/git/git-1.5.5.1-1-src
and that should provide some tantalizing clues.
