Then what I wrote was actually relevant ;-)

    I am not sure if we want to use the owner bit (i.e. 4th place)
    instead of the other bit (i.e. the last place) like this patch does,
    though.  The old code in 1.8.1.x would have produced either "r" (for
    100644) or "wx" (for 100755); I think that the result of applying
    this patch would give us "r" (for 100644) or "rx" (for 100755).

This should then work, I would think.

Subject: [PATCH v2] cvsserver: pick up the right mode bits

When determining the file mode from either ls-tree or diff-tree
output, we used to grab these octal mode string (typically 100644 or
100755) and then did

	$git_perms .= "r" if ( $mode & 4 );
	$git_perms .= "w" if ( $mode & 2 );
	$git_perms .= "x" if ( $mode & 1 );

which was already wrong, as (100644 & 4) is very different from
oct("100644") & 4.  An earlier refactoring 2c3af7e7 (cvsserver:
factor out git-log parsing logic, 2012-10-13) further changed it to
pick the third octal digit (10*0*644 or 10*0*755) from the left and
then do the above conversion, which does not make sense, either.

Let's use the third digit from the last of the octal mode string to
make sure we get the executable and read bits right.
