Recently, some branches other than master are used
for the releases.

-+--------+---------------------> master (cygwin-3.5.0-dev)
  \        \
   \        \-------------------> cygwin-3_4-branch
    \
     \------------] cygwin-3_3-branch (cygwin-3_3_6-release etc.)

You can access them by e.g.:
git log origin/cygwin-3_4-branch
git log origin/cygwin-3_3-branch
