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

       i do't think it is in binary mode when opening the files. I am
used vim to create a new file and editing through that. And also am
used file format (set ff=unix).

Johannes was referring to binary mode for writing files for _cygwin_
itself, not for files the git has to manage. See "Default Text File Type"
in cygwins setup.exe (maybe even follow the link "Read more...").
