[PATCH v4 0/3] apply with core.filemode=false

Chandra Pratap noticed that "git apply" on a filesystem without executable bit support gives a warning when applying a patch that expects the preimage file to have executable bit on. Dscho noticed that the initial fix by Chandra did not work well when applying a patch in reverse. It turns out that apply.c:reverse_patches() invalidates the "a patch that does not change mode bits have the mode bits in .old_mode member and not in .new_mode member" invariant we rely on.

Here is the result of concerted effort.

Chandra Pratap (1):
  apply: ignore working tree filemode when !core.filemode

Junio C Hamano (2):
  apply: correctly reverse patch's pre- and post-image mode bits
  apply: code simplification
