Ok, I figured it out.  git is doing the right thing, my scripts are
doing the right thing, patch is doing the right thing, but quilt is
not looking at the permissions on the file at all when refreshing a
patch that has been applied to a tree.

This might be a configuration setting on my end for quilt, or a bug in
quilt, I'll try to track this down, but in the meantime, I've fixed up
the stable queue of patches and pushed out a -rc3 with this hopefully
all fixed up.

thanks,
