The is dangerous on filesystems which lie to the programs about file metadata.
The "virtual filesystem" of cygwin is one of this kind: exec-bit of
the files depend
on its contents. Just calling git-commit -a will commit executability
at this particular
moment. For whatever reason, disabling handling of the exec-mode in gits config
does not work.
If you about to change the behaviour, provide at least a config option
to go back
