I noticed a CI breakage in t2106.3 in `seen` that seems to be caused by this, and I can make it go away with this patch:

Subject: [PATCH] fixup! Teach git apply to respect core.fileMode settings

As pointed out e.g. by t2016.3(git checkout -p), if the patch is to be applied in reverse (`git apply -R`), then the `old_mode` is actually 0, and we must use `new_mode` instead.

While at it, add some defensive code to ignore `ce_mode` should it be 0.

I guess you can slap on that `Reviewed-by:` footer again, after all... ;-)
