Hi Pete,

(Copying help text:
	The -t flag makes the source file's filetype propagate to the target
	file.  Normally, the target file retains its previous filetype.
	Newly branched files always use the source file's filetype.  The
	filetype can still be changed before 'p4 submit' with 'p4 reopen'.
)

Since in git we're only considering newly branched files, I think in
this case "-t" will not add anything. In fact, what is being done here
is detecting exec bit changes from source to target files - we're not
trying to force P4 to use the source's exec bit. Do you agree?

Kind regards,
