Is there anyway to have cygwin _not_ set the executable flag on every
file it writes??
On NTFS, where POSIX semantics can be emulated, cygwin obeys
POSIX default rules (creating or opening a file does not set the
x bits unless specially requested). On FAT, where the file system
has no good support, cygwin is helpless. So I fail to reproduce
the problem you are reporting. You may also want to consider
using umask.
Okay, a reproducable example:
Open cygwin. Write 'notepad test.txt'. Notepad opens, write something
and then save the file. Now do an ll. The file test.txt has been created
and has the executable flag set. I want it to not be set in such cases.
