Git will also store the mode of the file. Are you sure the file stored within git doesn't have the 664 mode? The other problems are mixing the various git operators with Cygwin git. For instance the embedded git of Netbeans doesn't cooperate well with Cygwin git because of subtle differences in the native versus Cygwin. -- cyg Simple -- 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
