I would rather do this part more like: if (S_ISREG(st_mode) && (force_executable || force_nonexecuable)) { if (force_executable) ce->ce_mode = create_ce_mode(0777); else ce->ce_mode = create_ce_mode(0666); } else if (trust_executable_bit && has_symlinks) { ce->ce_mode = create_ce_mode(st_mode); } else { ... carry the existing mode over ... which would make sure that the new code will not interfere with symbolic links and that forcing will be honored even on filesystems whose executable bit can be trusted (i.e. "can be trusted" does not have to mean "must be trusted"). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
