I understood that, too. My first impression was that it would not be.
However, as Git for Windows can set default attributes in
/mingw64/etc/gitconfig, I guess it would actually be helpful. We could
automatically mark all *.exe, *.com, *.bat, *.cmd files as executable. It
would then still be the users' responsibility to add their own attributes
for, say, *.js, *.rb, *.py, *.sh, and whatever else.
Ciao,
