I am very much regretting for having extracted the above answer from you. After actually running the test myself on a machine with executable bit, I have to conclude that I now have to review any patch from you with much more suspicion than I have done before. Unless the test I ran on my machine is lying to me, that is...

Look at what the "switch to a1 branch after committing to b1" does again. You modify "file1" and commit to "b1" and you now have a local change in file1 (because you update only the index and not the work tree) that is effectively a revert of what you committed just now, and a1 and b1 differs at that path. You get "Entry 'file1' not uptodate. Cannot merge." when you try to switch to "a1".

* FAIL 1: mode change in one branch: keep changed versionIf we squash the following on top of your patch, I think we can help filesystems without executable bit without breaking filesystems with one. Can you see if it works on your executable-bit-less setup?
