Hi all,

I just installed cygwin on my Windows 8.1 laptop and I found that
the result of ls -l is like this:
-rw-rw-r--  1 Theodore None 0 Nov  8 22:44 a
And I fond that I am in several groups
$ groups Theodore
Theodore : None root Performance Log Users

This raise my curiosity because when I use git, I got some error.
Then I read this:

I wonder why I need to use chgrp to make it right? Is this a bug?

No.  It's Windows (same difference? ;-) ).  See:
