Hi,

I do not know precisely about Cygwin (a quick test on my USB stick shows 
that .git/config is created without the executable bit set), but in MSys 
plain files which start with a she-bang are automatically +x, while all 
other plain files are automatically -x (therefore this applies to 
.git/config).

Given these findings, I fail to see what the patch should achieve, as 
the first test (for -x) always succeeds...

Ciao,
