Use core.filemode.
With "[core] filemode = false", you can tell git to ignore
differences in the working tree file only in executable bit.
* "git-update-index --refresh" does not say "needs update" if index
entry and working tree file differs only in executable bit.
* "git-update-index" on an existing path takes executable bit
from the existing index entry, if the path and index entry are
both regular files.
* "git-diff-files" and "git-diff-index" without --cached flag
pretend the path on the filesystem has the same executable
bit as the existing index entry, if the path and index entry
are both regular files.
If you are on a filesystem with unreliable mode bits, you may need to
force the executable bit after registering the path in the index.
* "git-update-index --chmod=+x foo" flips the executable bit of the
index file entry for path "foo" on. Use "--chmod=-x" to flip it
off.
Note that --chmod only works in index file and does not look at nor
update the working tree.
So if you are on a filesystem and do not have working executable bit,
you would do:
1. set the appropriate .git/config option;
2. "git-update-index --add new-file.c"
3. "git-ls-files --stage new-file.c" to see if it has the desired
mode bits. If not, e.g. to drop executable bit picked up from the
filesystem, say "git-update-index --chmod=-x new-file.c".
