-    improve index mode for files with executable bit
-    
-    The fix for #430 in bebc4f56 (Use correct mode for executable files,
-    2016-05-19) is incomplete.  It fails (in most cases) when files have
-    modes which are not exactly 0644 or 0755.
-    
-    Git only cares whether the executable bit is set (or not).  Ensure the
-    mode we set for the index is either 100644 or 100755 based on whether
-    the executable bit is set for the file owner.  Do this similarly to how
-    upstream git does it in cache.h¹.
-    
-    Add a test covering various file modes to help catch regressions.
-    
-    Fixes #1253
