Windows operation: Run as Administrator <cygwin shell>
 > chown -R owner:group *

Windows operation: Explorer <directory> -> Operation -> Security
                    Message "The permissions on <directory> are incorrectly
                    ordered which may cause some entries to be ineffective."

                    Click OK -> Edit
                    Message "The permissions on <directory> are incorrectly
                    ordered which may cause some entries to be ineffective.

                    To order the Permissions correctly, click Reorder

                    To leave the permissions unchanged (the view will be
                    read-only) click Cancel"

                    Click Reorder
                    This corrects the error.

For the directory and contained subdirectories, the <owner> is put into 
the "Group or user names" popup of the Security property. The <owner> 
has no assigned permissions.

The contained files in the directory have <owner> in the "Group or user 
names" popup of the Security property. The <owner> has all permissions 
except special permissions.

Summary: When the chown -R command is given, the ownership and group of 
the directory and contained files are changed but the permissions of the 
directory are detected as incorrect by Win7. The owner has no 
permissions in the directory but does have permissions in the files 
contained in the directory.

I don't think that this is something that I caused through a fault of my 
own. It looks like a chown bug.  Is there a workaround?
