I believe it happens a lot more if you go using DOS paths(*). Do not do that. cheers, DaveK -- (*) - WAG: Cygwin automagically adds 'x' perms to files you access via dos drive-letters, so the files in the repo get 'x', and when the client checks them back out again and creates new files (this time with real rather than automagically-added-on-access 'x' perms), the .exe magic kicks in. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
