I believe it happens a lot more if you go using DOS paths(*). Do not do that.

(*) - WAG: Cygwin automagically adds 'x' perms to files you access via dos
drive-letters, so the files in the repo get 'x', and when the client checks
them back out again and creates new files (this time with real rather than
automagically-added-on-access 'x' perms), the .exe magic kicks in.
