Nice.

This case/esac is misindented, but no need to resend; I can fix it
up trivially while queuing the patches.  It may be both easier to
read and more robust to tweak the pattern like this, though:

# Test the file mode "$1" of the file "$2" in the index.
test_mode_in_index () {
	case "$(git ls-files --stage "$2")" in
	"$1 "*"	$2")
		echo pass
		;;
	*)
		echo fail
		git ls-files --stage "$2"
		return 1
		;;
	esac
}

Thanks.
