'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).

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.
