(This has been > happening for several -rc releases now). 'patch' doesn't know anything about file modes. It ignores all the nice git extensions, and has no idea what the line new file mode 100755 means in a git patch. (Well, at least traditional "patch" doesn't understand it. I know some people have worked at adding basic git patch support to newer versions of "patch", since things like git rename patches etc are obviously so superior to traditional patches). > Am I doing something wrong? (other than not using git) Use git. You can use "git apply" as a replacement for "patch", even if you don't actually use a git repository or use git in any other form.
