Subject: Checking out messes up execution bit
Date: Sat, 06 Nov 2010 22:11:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CD5C478.1010604@physik.uni-regensburg.de> (raw)

Hello list,

I asked a question over at superuser.com about git checkouts messing up 
the execution bit of freshly committed files:

http://superuser.com/questions/204757

To put it in a nutshell: I edit and commit a file in branch "master", 
then I check out branch "dev" and the edited file gets the execution bit 
set. This leads to a working copy differing from the content of the 
index. It's especially painful when I try to merge "master" into "dev", 
which fails then. I'm working under ext4 and Samba/CIFS, respectively.

One answerer at superuser thinks that this looks like a bug in git 
itself. Therefore I'd like to check with you, if there is possibly 
another explanation for my observation, before I issue a bug report.

Best,
Manuel
