Thank you.  Uhm... I just don't understand why you squashed them into a
single big patch.  Multiple independent smaller patches are better to
handle, especially when looking for potential bugs later.

Would you mind terribly to split them again?

Cool, thanks!  This might take a few days.

It's probably the "get off my lawn" mentality of old, die-hard CVS users.
Both, Jeff and I, the maintainers of newlib and Cygwin are such specimen.

I'm in the process of reconsidering it for Cygwin-related logs.  I'm still
mostly sticking to these ChangeLog entries, but I'm moving over to adding
textual descriptions to the git log.  See my latest commits for examples.
