Replace with Head Revision - not keeping original file permissions [message #1779288]

Using Eclipse oxygen 4.7.1, Egit, in the git perspective in the "Git Staging" view I right click on a file in the unstaged pane and then select "Replace with Head Revision". The body of the file is reverted correctly, but the permissions of the file are changed to 644. They were 755 (another story).

On the command line, git checkout -- <file>, does not change the permissions.

I assumed these two operations are the same and would behave the same. Am I wrong in assuming this?

It seems I cannot reproduce your issue:

I tried the following with egit from current master branch on Mac OS:
- stage and commit a file with permissions 755
- modify file content and save the changed file
- replace with head revision
result was that the file still had permissions 755 and the content was reverted to the content committed earlier.

Thanks for the response Matthias.

Due to internal company issues, my updates to eclipse were failing and I didnt notice. I fixed the issue and updated EGIT to 4.10, my original was a few months old. This fixed the issue.
