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?
