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.
