I could imagine that you do not have "binary mode" default for opening
files.


      i do't think it is in binary mode when opening the files. I am
used vim to create a new file and editing through that. And also am
used file format (set ff=unix).


However, if you do, maybe your .git/index went corrupt?

As a workaround, you could try "git read-tree HEAD" and then "git add"
again, but make sure you have a backup of .git/index, since it could be a
bug in Git(cygwin) and if so, I'd like to fix it.


    I have taken the initial index (once repository created, after
initial commit) to backup.
and followed the above steps.

1. cp index index.orig
2. git read-tree HEAD
3. git add test.c (my new file)

But end up with the same errors. Would you think there is a bug in the
git working on cygwin ?. I hope would the sequence help you in
catching the bug.



Ciao,
