Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git [...] -- [...]' > permissions), the reasons were not quite explicit. I very well remember that mksquashfs had the very annoying default behavior of making its output file 0444. Like because it was a read-only filesystem, the images should also be read-only, which is obviously a bit silly. Maybe mksquashfs has changed its default behavior since then, but clearly that's the reason why we were doing this.
