Re: problem using git on cygwin

Hi,

I could imagine that you do not have "binary mode" default for opening 
files.

However, if you do, maybe your .git/index went corrupt?

As a workaround, you could try "git read-tree HEAD" and then "git add" 
again, but make sure you have a backup of .git/index, since it could be a 
bug in Git(cygwin) and if so, I'd like to fix it.
