- Subject: Cygwin git and Windows native Git differ on flipping permissions
I have git working fine under cygwin, and made a repo with it. Now I
got GitExtensions,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gitextensions/
http://github.com/spdr870
-- which come with a Windows-native Git and git-gui. Strangely, the
gui shows that permissions of lots of things changed from 100755 to
100644.When I agree and add and commit that in the windows gui, back
on cygwin, git status suddently complains that the permissions changed
from 100644 to 100755! Why this weirdness? I know I probably should
use either cygwin-compiled or windows-native stuff with their
respective guis, but I'm curious as to why this mismatch happens, and
perhaps how to tell each git to ignore it! :) I remember when I
originally said mkdir repo, the repo was unreadable, I had to edit
permissions again as administrator in Windows Explorer and OK to
recursively fix them with full control to myself. Can this be at play
here?
Also -- I did rebaseall and peflagsall on the whole cygwin, and my zsh
started to work after that. However, once when I had that gui up and
started a zsh, it failed with some rebase issues. Yet those tools are
supposedly windows-native! Any reason for it?
Cheers,
Alexy
