(I'm not sure if I understand "match" correctly) You can ignore changes in the executable permissions: git config core.filemode false Please let us know if it works -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
