That's a well-known problem with anything that expects POSIX file
semantics on Windows... and Git does rely very heavily on it.

You should preferrably set it before any commits to that repo (or rather
in global config).  Otherwise you could use Git from Cygwin (which
emulates POSIX on anything but FAT by default), but then you must never
use any native Git on that repo (and be sure that you never access it
via a filesystem that doesn't have ACL or that is mounted with "noacl"
in Cygwin).  This particular pitfall is extensively documented on the
Git side.

I'm not sure that orgmode should document limitations of some other
software that are caused be the underlying OS...
