Post #2349217

@b0rk@social.jvns.ca The way Git displays octal file modes to the user is so unfortunate :( It gives you the false impression that files in a repo *could* have unusual permissions/types, or that perhaps the umask on a commiter's machine might affect the permissions of newly committed files, whereas in reality Git enforces "standard" file modes. (To be clear, I think it's good that Git can't store any fancy permissions/types - I just wish it would communicate that to the user...)
