This is on Cygwin, yes. I have the core.filemode disabled in
~/.gitconfig. How about stopping the test before the failing portion
(only the last two fail, below)?

What's in your ~/.gitconfig shouldn't have any effect (the test scripts
take care to avoid looking at anything outside of your git directory).
But presumably this test is broken on Cygwin, anyway?

On Cygwin, support for correctly interpreting the execute bit is governed 
by the operating system (WindowsNT/XP vs Windows9x), the file system 
(NTFS vs FAT), and the (NO)NTEA and (NO)NTSEC options via the CYGWIN 

*and* the contents of the file. Look at the code.
