The current Cygwin 1.7 distribution on supported Windows versions provides complete support for POSIX filemodes, so enable this by default. git as distributed by the Cygwin project is configured this way. Cygwin 1.5 installations are less likely to have this support, so leave the old default in place for those. This fixes one testsuite failure: t3300 test 17 (diff-index -M -p with mode change quotes funny filename) Historical notes: Cygwin version 1.7 supports Windows-XP and newer, thus dropped support for all OS variants that lack NTFS and/or the full win32 api, and since late 1.5 development, Cygwin maps POSIX modes to NTFS ACLs by default. Cygwin 1.5 supports OS variants that use FAT as the native file system, and had optional methods for providing POSIX file modes on top of FAT12/16 and NTFS, though not FAT32. Also, support for POSIX modes on top of FAT were dropped later in 1.5. Thus, POSIX filemode support is not expected by default on a Cygwin 1.5 installation, but is expected by default on a 1.7 installation.
