Taylor,
Thanks for your response! It looks like git does not actually
recognize the file as executable:
$ git ls-tree HEAD
100644 blob 7d2f57b2381766924e1e4ffcc62615c637bbd784 executable_script.sh
100644 blob d1d7cf309e091f54f268503b31653d8eba42fe88
non_executable_file.txt
Now you have me wondering if the real problem here is that I'm working
in git-bash on a Windows machine, which means the file permissions
aren't completely native. I'm going to run a similar experiment in a
native Linux environment and see if I get the same results. I'll let
you know what I find.
Thanks,
Doug
