I do not know precisely about Cygwin (a quick test on my USB stick shows that .git/config is created without the executable bit set), but in MSys plain files which start with a she-bang are automatically +x, while all other plain files are automatically -x (therefore this applies to .git/config). Given these findings, I fail to see what the patch should achieve, as the first test (for -x) always succeeds...
