Why this weirdness?
Probably because the native windows git is compiled with a flag that states that the x bit is unreliable (which, in general, Windows apps are so lousy with their handling of the x bit on NTFS, and it is impossible to track x bit on FAT, is probably the right thing). Meanwhile, the cygwin git is compiled to respect the x bit, because cygwin does a better job of properly managing x bits on NTFS, and doing a better job of a reasonable fake of the x bit on FAT. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
