On my system: $ cygcheck -f $(which tree) tree-1.5.0-EL-1 This (the EL part) means it came from Eric Lassauge's site. See http://lassauge.free.fr/cygwin/release/ Try adding http://lassauge.free.fr/cygwin/ in setup as a custom download site in order to pick up Eric's packages. I think you'll need to run setup with the --no-verify option to use it.
