I suggest providing posix_lstat, which has the posix semantics regarding x-bit in st_mode. Maybe even posix_stat is need, too. There are other places which went broken recently in this regard (lstat cache patches?). Some will have to use this posix_lstat (the copy_templates_1), the others have to get a careful core.filemode handling (like check_remove in diff-lib.c, which isn't just about removed files). git-compat-util.h | 5 +++++ 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
