Git for Windows has core.filemode set to false in /etc/gitconfig.
Unfortunately JGit has no idea where /etc is on Windows since it is a
directory tied a particular Git installation. It is not even unique
since you can have more than one installation, each with a different /etc.
We should have a workaround for this. That could be an environment variable,
a setting in ~/.gitconfig, a system property or (in Eclipse) a workspace
setting or we could (if git is in the path, ask git for it).
