I'm wondering why this happens too as even a 'cp -r --preserve=all
/srv/git/puppet.git .' takes in the mode change on all the resources
of file type. You can however run the following to avoid mode changes
(Git tracks the executable bit only, so Git's 100664 is -x while
100775 is +x) to be tracked by git at all:

git config core.filemode false

If you then need a file to be executable or you want to -x it, run:

git update-index --chmod=(+|-)x modules/foo/files/myscript.py

git-bz is definitely a tool you can use to upload patches on
bugzilla.gnome.org. You should consider giving [1] a look on this
side. Let me know if that made the trick.
