The execute bit is the only permission that Git actually records:

Unfortunately, it's the only one that's giving you grief here.  You
might try setting the noacl mount option for the Cygwin mount containing
your repository:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

Another option may be to hack a post-save action into gVim that uses
Cygwin's chmod command to remove the execute bit from newly saved files:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4627701/vim-how-to-execute-automatically-execute-a-shell-command-after-saving-a-file

If all else fails, you could also install the Windows-native build of
Git and use that instead.  Cygwin's gVim may also make sense to use here
instead of the native one, but I remember you saying that the native
gVim integrates better for what you do.
