In http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-08/msg00260.html Eric Blake pointed out
that on Cygwin, /usr/share/git-core/templates are installed with executable
permissions; whereas on Linux, they are installed without. This is
inconsistent. Could you please make it so they are installed executable on
*all* platforms or on *no* platforms?
Thanks,

That message is old. Templates are now always installed with the
executable bit set on all platforms, but with a '.sample' suffix. This
makes the behavior consistent whether or not the platform supports
executable bits properly.
This happened in June of 2008, and shipped in git v1.6.0.
