Subject:	Problem with git and file mode changes
From:	Dani Moncayo <dmoncayo AT gmail DOT com>
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com

Hello list,

I have installed an up-to-date version of Cygwin on a Windows 8.1
machine:

  $ uname -a
  CYGWIN_NT-6.3 LEG570 2.2.1(0.289/5/3) 2015-08-20 11:42 x86_64 Cygwin

I have a problem with git.  This is the installed version:

  $ git --version
  git version 2.5.1

After doing a 'git pull', I saw that git didn't make the merge,
because apparently I had some local changes.  But I didn't make
any local change.  For example, this file appears as modified:

  $ git status --short test/rmailmm.el
   M test/rmailmm.el

  $ git diff test/rmailmm.el
  diff --git a/test/rmailmm.el b/test/rmailmm.el
  old mode 100644
  new mode 100755

Mmm strange, I never changed the permissions of any file in my
repo.  And moreover:

  $ ls -o test/rmailmm.el
  -rwxrwxr--+ 1 Dani 3106 Sep 4 16:19 test/rmailmm.el

According to 'ls', the file mode is 774, but according to git is
755.  Which one is wrong?

Well, let's try to revert the misterious change:

  $ git checkout test/rmailmm.el

  $ git status --short test/rmailmm.el
   M test/rmailmm.el

  $ git diff test/rmailmm.el
  diff --git a/test/rmailmm.el b/test/rmailmm.el
  old mode 100644
  new mode 100755

  $ ls -o test/rmailmm.el
  -rwxrwxr--+ 1 Dani 3106 Sep  4 16:28 test/rmailmm.el

Apparently nothing has changed after the 'git checkout'!!

Do you know what's happening here?

TIA
