I cloned a repository using the git that comes with 64-bit cygwin. Executing python.exe in the repository results in an immediate return and an exit code of 127.
The python executable was built in 32-bit cygwin. The executable works fine is 32-bit cygwin and 64-bit cygwin shells as long as the repository was cloned with the git I was using before, msysgit. I have had no problem with python in the same repository on the Ubuntu and Mac OS platforms. The problem has only been seen with the git that ships with 64-bit cygwin. 64-bit cygwin - cygwin version 1.7.33 - git version 2.1.1 32-bit cygwin - cygwin version 1.7.18 - git version 1.8.1.msysgit.1 I have tried the git config core.filemode option with true and false values. This did not help. git ls-tree shows the same file mode and checksum in both repositories,: 100644 blob abc25ddb6ed66d1bfe3f58de77b3fd3437b8e21f python.exe As per a post on the web, I tried to fix this using: git update-index --chmod=+x python.exe git commit ... While that does change the file mode, python still exits with 127: 100755 blob abc25ddb6ed66d1bfe3f58de77b3fd3437b8e21f python.exe Python is in the path: $ which python /home/x5551212/workspaces/infra/main/python/2.7.5/windows/python Any idea what the cygwin provided git is doing differently than other git implementations?
