Thanks a lot for that!  It all makes sense now.

OK, I've got read access sorted out now, using my sourceware login. 
I've got a patch to push, but 'git push' errors out with...

(I use "sourceware.org" to keep cygwin@cygwin.com login separate from 
<username>@cygwin.com in my .ssh/config file.  Maybe that's goofy but I 
don't think it's connected to the 'git push' failing.)
Thanks for your continuing patience and help Jon.
