I use CrashPlan as my backup engine. It has difficulty backing up files with no "other" access. Many git locale (.mo) and doc-related files have permissions 600 (directories 700). Is there a good reason for this? I would think that 644 and 755 access would be fine for these files, and it would prevent the problems I see with CrashPlan. For the moment I have changed the access modes locally, but I suspect that future updates will cause reversion unless this is fixed upstream. (If there are other files out there in the Cygwin universe whose "other" access is denied for no good reason, I would ask the same for them :-) ...)
