I was able to 'git clone' the cygutils source tree and fix user-reported
issues and my build issues. I'm ready to push the updates but have hit a
snag...
--------8<--------
<prompt> git push origin master
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
-------->8--------
I tried creating a git branch and pushing that instead; same error.
Adding -v to the 'git push' command shows "Pushing to
git://sourceware.org/git/cygwin-cygutils.git" which seems correct.
I suspect my login credentials are incorrect. How/where do I specify what
my sourceware login is? Or maybe it's some other problem?
Separate from that, I will need to update the cygutils.cygport file which
resides outside of this cygutils source tree. How do I access that file?
And if that wasn't enough, here's another newbie question: Am I really
supposed to push to master or is there a review that should be done first?
So pushing a revision branch is the right way to allow for a review?
Thanks for any hints,
