I've just completely uninstalled (ie: deleted) and re-installed cygwin, ensuring that bin mode was selected for the install (I'm sure it was before, that's the default). "mount" confirms that everything is mounted in binmode.

Sadly, I still can't commit to a git repository - same problem: every file & directory immediately shows as a "missing blob" after "git add ."

I'll try the same install on my home system (Win XP Home) and see if I get the same problem.
