Recently we changed the permissions on a file (a Linux shell script) by this (gitk) patch: ----------------------------- xxxx/SQC/SQC.sh ----------------------------- old mode 100644 new mode 100755 We did this on a Linux machine. Now on a Windows machine we pull in the change: This causes problems when checking out the branch on which the change was made: after a checkout the status of SQC.sh is always 'modified' and we can't convince git to reset it. I actually succeeded _once_ but can not remember how I did it. The file is _always_ dirty. Is this a bug? I have to note that when I re-clone the repo I don't have the problem. So it seems to be somewhere in the 'update the working copy' code?

We're on NTFS however.... NTFS is also broken then? excuse me for the questions, I'm really a Linux guy, I know very little about Windows. I'm just the interface towards the community :-) ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2009-08-18 11:55 Subject: Re: Windows & executable bit Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.1.00.0908181355090.4680%40intel-tinevez-2-302 In-Reply-To: <200908181223.48291.trast@student.ethz.ch> ``` Hi, On Tue, 18 Aug 2009, Thomas Rast wrote: > Johannes Schindelin wrote: > > > > git config trust.fileMode false > > Isn't that core.filemode ? The matching is actually case-insensitive, but I prefer CamelCase here...

I believe the question was about it being in the trust vs the core section... -- Erik "kusma" Faye-Lund kusmabite@gmail.com (+47) 986 59 656 ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2009-08-18 12:59 Subject: Re: [msysGit] Windows & executable bit Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.1.00.0908181458450.4680%40intel-tinevez-2-302 In-Reply-To: <4262.77.61.241.211.1250594232.squirrel@hupie.xs4all.nl> ``` Hi, On Tue, 18 Aug 2009, Ferry Huberts wrote: > > Isn't that core.filemode ? > > yep. works > > however, the man page says that you'll have to configure it in this way > when you're on a broken filesystem like FAT.
