I think you need a Fedora or at least a Pagure account to access git:// repos:

I use latest repo branch f## matching the Cygwin upstream release build in the 
spec, rather than main or rawhide, as those change with each release, and 
patches may be modified, dropped, and added.

Some folks cross-building under Fedora (and/or having a RedHat account?) define 
a fedora git submodule with the sources.
