Fixed. Manly the program aims to be tiny. Perhaps I should include a full example of using it with git-bundle.

#!/bin/sh -e
#git-cache-meta -- file meta data caching for possible use with
#git-bundle, git-fast-export, git-archive, hooks, as a simple
#alternative to etckeeper, metastore, setgitperms. Requires GNU Find.
: ${GIT_CACHE_META_FILE=.git_cache_meta}
case $@ in
    --store|--stdout)
	case $1 in --store) exec > $GIT_CACHE_META_FILE; esac
	git ls-files|xargs -I{} find {} \
	    \( -user ${USER?} -o -printf 'chown %u "%p"\n' \) \
	    \( -group $USER   -o -printf 'chgrp %g "%p"\n' \) \
	    \( \( -type l -o -perm 755 -o -perm 644 \) \
			      -o -printf 'chmod %#m "%p"\n' \);;
    --apply) sh -e $GIT_CACHE_META_FILE;;
    *) 1>&2 echo "Usage: $0 --store|--stdout|--apply"; exit 1;;
esac
