OK, let me know if this is completely off-base. perms/ownership can be stored in the index at update-index time and restored maybe at checkout-index time. Calls to write-tree and read-tree can store/retrieve the perms/ownership data from a .gitattributes file somewhere; and something sane needs to be done about merging. Does this sound reasonable enough for a first cut?
