I moved away from msysgit because it wasn't displaying colors properly in
mintty. As for a vim script, I put together something that executes `chmod
0644` when saving new files only:

" Change permissions on new files to be 0644 in cygwin
augroup filePerms
    autocmd!
    autocmd BufWritePre * call NewFileTest()
augroup END
function! NewFileTest()
    if !filereadable(expand('<afile>'))
        " If the file cannot be found pre-write, add a post-write command
        autocmd filePerms BufWritePost * call NewFileAlter()
    endif
endfunction
function! NewFileAlter()
    " Remove command after it is executed once
    autocmd! filePerms BufWritePost
    " Change permissions
    silent execute "!C:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe -c \"/usr/bin/chmod 0644 '" .
substitute(expand("<afile>"), "^\\(.\\):/", "/cygdrive/\\1/", "") . "'\""
endfunction

There's a very brief appearance of the command prompt when I save a new
file, but I think it's a suitable and portable solution. Thanks for the
help.
