Git does preserve file permissions, that is, git is aware of the
permissions you can set with chmod.

I'm not trying to ignore the x bit, what I'm trying to do is make
"git reset" checkout only the files that actually changed instead
of checking out all the files with different permissions than the
ones git thinks they should have.

Said with other word: when you run "git reset", git does a "status"
and checkouts all the files that showed up from the "status".
That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, as "status" is aware of both
content changes and permissions changes.
