Git file permissions on Windows

From another question here on stackoverflow: How do I make Git ignore file mode (chmod) changes?

First see what core.filemode is set to -

git config core.filemode

Try setting it to false:

git config core.filemode false

From git-config(1):

   core.fileMode

       If false, the executable bit differences between the index and the
       working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT.
       See git-update-index(1). True by default.

I found the solution of how to change permissions (also) on Windows here: http://blog.lesc.se/2011/11/how-to-change-file-premissions-in-git.html

For example following command adds user execute permission to an arbitrary file:

git update-index --chmod=+x <file>
