Using latest version of cygwin64 in Windows 10. I have managed to get a directory foo that has something strange about its permissions. I'm not quite sure how this happened but here are the symptoms:
$ cd /f/temp/foo
$ ls -lad .
drwxrwx---+ 1 Mm None 0 Jun 16 14:03 .
$ mkdir bar
$ ls -lad bar
d---rwx---+ 1 Mm None 0 Jun 16 14:17 .
$ cd bar
Permission denied
$ umask
0022
This doesn't happen for other directories, e.g. /f/temp/ok. Using ls switches I cannot see any difference between f/temp/ok and /f/temp/foo.
If I do chmod 775 bar then I can enter bar, but then making a directory under bar has the same problem. So this problem is stopping me doing git init in /f/temp/foo. Doing chown -R Mm * in the parent makes no difference.
My question is: What is causing this problem and what is the proper fix?
There are some differences visible with icacls but I'm not sure how to interpret them:
$ cd /f/temp
$ icacls ok >ok.txt
$ icacls foo >foo.txt
$ diff -b ok.txt foo.txt

I have got a workaround for now: make another directory under /f/temp, then use cp -r to copy all the files out of foo into the new directory, then delete foo and rename the new directory. If I use cp -a instead of cp -r the problem persists.
