>Also when I open up the 'tree' section, each line starts with file permissions in the style of 'ls -la'. Is this b/c the system is fundamentally tied to POSIX? (I've used git with no problem on Windows before - so I don't see why it would be) Because the file mode is stored in git. The tree view is a representation of the git tree, and the mode is a property stored in the tree.
