Whenever I use cygwin to patch a file, the patch is sucessful, however, I get a permission denied error that throws my Drupal install into a funk.
Doing a ls -l shows the file permissions and the only difference before and after the patch is that the file loses its '+' after its permissions.
For example, doing a ls -l on /includes shows (etc etc being more info about the file that I'd rather not type out):
-rwx------+ 1 Owner etc etc
After getting patched, the file's permissions look like:
-rwx------ 1 Owner etc etc
I think the + sign is what's causing the issue. Any advice is appreciated.

I have this problem too on
I have this problem too on Vista, supposedly it's solvable by configuring Cygwin in a certain way but whatever I did only seemed to work temporarily. I got around it by installing Ubuntu. ;)
Try searching http://cygwin.com/ for a solution, if you work it out please let us know.
In Vista I had this problem
In Vista I had this problem too. Just manually alter the file permissions after by right-clicking the file and choosing properties. Change it from read-only.
Me too
Figured out anything yet?
Here is what I did
This is a bit of a hack, but in your drupal dir, run this cmd.
