Mark Geisert clarifies what he wrote:
I was also mightily confused by Charles' apparent use of git *and* a huge patch file.
That's not fair. Charles used cvs; his cygutils repository was converted to git and I've been maintaining it since the conversion. My confusion is in whether updates are totally described by git commits or whether they also/instead appear in the huge patch file. This is an internal issue that I need to resolve.
I apologize that problematic cygutils builds have been released due to my not fully understanding the subtleties of Charles' build factory.
There's an upcoming cygutils-1.4.16-5 that's intended to be a clean update that fixes the reported problems in -3 and -4test. Once that is out, the public repository for cygutils will be updated in short order.
