Description Matthew Webber

Build Identifier: 

This problem occurs on Linux.

If I clone my Git respository using the git command line, one of the files has the execute bit set for everyone. That's what I expect.

If I clone my Git respository using Eclipse IDE (EGit), that file has the execute bit set for the owner only. That's wrong.

A search of bugzilla and the web shows various apparently-related bugs, but only for Windows, and all several years old. I'm running Indigo SR2.

On the EGit forum (http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/264022/), Robin Rosenbug stated: "This is due to the limitations of the Java 6 API. Java 7 has the capability, I think, but there is no code yet. That would only work for Java 7 users, but thats better than not-at-all.".



Reproducible: Always

A tricky thing may be that the behaviour in C Git depends on the setting
of umask.
