For example, in web development, you want configuration files to be read only; specially if you're deploying with git. Also, you would want some executable file to not be writable ; but executable by world. Permission support would become really handy when using GIT_WORK_TREE on a bare repo. Please, consider supporting them. -- It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle. Love isn't asked for; it's just given. Respect isn't asked for; it's earned!
