The is dangerous on filesystems which lie to the programs about file metadata. The "virtual filesystem" of cygwin is one of this kind: exec-bit of the files depend on its contents. Just calling git-commit -a will commit executability at this particular moment. For whatever reason, disabling handling of the exec-mode in gits config does not work. If you about to change the behaviour, provide at least a config option to go back to the old git-commit, which didn't do any magic. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
