Hmm.. have you set:
git config core.filemode false
yet?
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-config.html
If false, the executable bit differences between the index and
the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems
like FAT.
I thought this was set by default on cygwin.
Maybe you copied that repo over from another box?

You could always copy
git-difftool.perl,
git-difftool--helper.sh, and
git-mergetool--lib.sh
from git.git into your $PATH as
git-difftool,
git-difftool--helper, and
git-mergetool--lib,
respectively.
It's just Perl and shell and they'll work fine with your existing
git installation as-is until an upgrade comes around.
