Hello,
I found the core.filemode option, which ignores executable bits, but I
need an option to ignore all mode differences, and such an option does
not seem to exist.
The reason for this is that I'm trying to use msysGit with Cygwin git,
sometimes to work with an msysGit clone in cygwin or to work with a
Cygwin git clone in msysGit. For example, I would like to use "git
cpan-init" under Cygwin, then use msysGit to work with the repository,
this is currently impossible.
Here is "git status" on a repo made with Cygwin git under msysGit:
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working
directory)
#
# modified: Makefile.PL
# modified: t/02ads.t
# modified: t/02cxn.t
# modified: t/04os.t
...
...
Every file is modified because the modes do not match :(
Would it be possible to add some sort of option to ignore all file mode
changes?

The only mode tracked by Git is the executable bit, so this shouldn't
even be an issue. Are you sure the executable bit isn't the problem?

Those are all executable bit diffs.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.

Ok, but I have core.filemode set to "false" as I showed, why does this
happen then?

I can't confirm this on linux with current git. What are your versions?
Do you have a minimal example (starting from git init)?

This is msysGit:
$ git --version
git version 1.7.3.1
I can't replicate this with just "git init" and a file, it seems to
happen when I use "git cpan-init" in Cygwin then look at the repo in
msysGit.

Actually, I can replicate this in Cygwin git:
$ git --version
git version 1.7.3.3
$ cd ~/src
$ mkdir test-repo
$ cd test-repo
$ git init
$ touch README
$ git add README
$ git commit -a -m'test commit'
$ git diff HEAD
$ chmod +x README
$ git diff HEAD
diff --git a/README b/README
old mode 100644
new mode 100755
$ git config --global core.filemode
false
The way the executable bit works seems to be different between Cygwin
and msys, but in either case core.filemode seems to not be working properly.

This is because core.filemode is set in the local configuration:
$ git config core.filemode
true
Git automatically detects if chmod(2) is supported on the current file
system and sets core.filemode to the corresponding value. Because cygwin
emulates chmod(), git sets core.filemode to true.

That was it! Thank you very much. I can now use msysGit and Cygwin git
together, very cool.
