From b90a926371bbb45b2abd27241a8ef682f1450b99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:18:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] apply: symbolic links lack a "trustable executable bit" When 0482c32c334b (apply: ignore working tree filemode when !core.filemode, 2023-12-26) fixed `git apply` to stop warning about executable files, it inadvertently changed the code flow also for symbolic links and directories. Let's narrow the scope of the special `!trust_executable_git` code path to apply only to regular files. This is needed to let t4115.5(symlink escape when creating new files) pass on Windows when symbolic link support is enabled in the MSYS2 runtime.
