As the original author of the code, I know I meant filemode check to be done and redone upon reinitialization in 4f629539 (init-db: check template and repository format., 2005-11-25). But then when 75d24499 (git-init: autodetect core.symlinks, 2007-08-31) started to autodetect symbolic link support, I somehow ended up doing it only upon the repository creation. Later, 2455406a (git-init: autodetect core.ignorecase, 2008-05-11) imitated to check case sensitivity in the same block, doing it only once. Either of these two commits would have been a good chance for us to realize that filemode check should be done the same way, but somehow nobody noticed X-<.
