Subject: [PATCH] Correct fast-export file mode strings to match fast-import standard
Message-ID: <20080225035728.GA26302@spearce.org>

```
The fast-import file format does not expect leading '0' in front
of a file mode; that is we want '100644' and '0100644'.

Thanks to Ian Clatworthy of the Bazaar project for noticing the
difference in output/input.
