Subject: Be much more liberal about the file mode bits.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99~856
X-Git-Url: https://git.octo.it/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e44794706eeb57f2ee38ed1604821aa38b8ad9d2;p=git.git

Be much more liberal about the file mode bits.

We only really care about the difference between a file being executable
or not (by its owner). Everything else we leave for the user umask to
decide.
