Hello,
I'm trying to execute git init and git clone operations on a linux client that mounts a Netapp volume with NTFS Security Style. Meaning the client is Linux based but the filesystem is managed from Windows side - especially linux chmod operations are not permitted.
Maybe a new CLI option might be helpful to skip those chmod operations.
$ git version
git version 2.34.1

$ git config --global --replace-all core.fileMode false
