The diff helpers used to do the magic mode canonicalization and all the other special mode handling by hand ("trust executable bit" and "has symlink support" handling). That's bogus. Use "ce_mode_from_stat()" that does this all for us. This is also going to be required when we add support for links to other git repositories.
