Many operations in git depend on your filesystem to have an
efficient `lstat(2)` implementation, so that `st_mtime`
The command honors `core.filemode` configuration variable. If
your repository is on an filesystem whose executable bits are

This causes the command to ignore differences in file modes recorded
in the index and the file mode on the filesystem if they differ only on
executable bit. On such an unfortunate filesystem, you may
