Exactly.
For those 'new to Cygwin' the following may be worth reading: # pay attention
to the bottom of this text.

Now using ONLY the Windows Explorer to arrive at the same result: -- i.e.
without using Cygwin (e.g. not
installed yet)
(right-click) properties > security > ADVANCED
- change permissions
- add creator owner, _full_control_, this folder ... (i.e. the whole tree)
apply
- add creator group, read & execute, this folder ... (i.e. the whole tree)
apply
(i.e. traverse folder/execute file, list folder/read data, read
attributes, read extended attributes,
read permission)
- add everyone, read & execute, this folder ... (i.e. the whole tree)
apply
(ditto)
- uncheck 'include inheritable permissions ...' # i.e. break inheritance
- remove inherited parent permissions
apply
The output of 'getfacl Test' will be the same as above ...
Now install Cygwin and you wont have to fight file permission further down the
road ...
