Hi Keith,

On the ChangeLog of the legacy branch of mingw-org-wsl, you wrote:

The authoritative CVS repository for mingwrt and w32api seems to be:

https://cygwin.com/viewvc/src/winsup/mingw/
https://cygwin.com/viewvc/src/winsup/w32api/

What do you think of importing the full CVS history as two separated git 
repositories? It could be for historical purposes or even for starting 
again from a clean state.

Regards,

Cesar
