If you are using NTFS or FAT32, neither of these filesystems support

On Windows, there are indeed no executable bits. A file is considered
executable if it has a file extension indicating it, e.g. `.exe`.

In Git for Windows' Bash (which comes from MSYS2), `ls -l` will also
consider files whose first line is a hash-bang one (e.g. `#!/bin/sh`) as
executable. This information is however _not_ used by Git.

If you want to mark a file as executable in Git for Windows, you will have
to use `git add --chmod=+x <file>`.

Ciao,
