This is your answer. On Windows, everything is executable, so changing a file with any native Windows program is bound to set the executable bit. A change in permissions is considered a modification in git, hence the message. To avoid this, you'll probably have to git clone with your Windows git to start with, as Cygwin programs won't change the permissions unless you tell them to. -- Yaakov -- 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
