I have a git repo that contains a shell script that has the executable bit set.

When I clone the repo with jgit (version 4.3.1.201605051710-r), running as a non-root user, the executable bit is preserved.

When I clone this same repo, running as root, the executable bit is lost. What's interesting is a "git status" reports no change.

I have seen this problem on both ubuntu and centos, both Java 7 and 8.

This is not a problem when I use the git command.

Below is an illustration of what I'm seeing. Note how the permissions changes for the "edit-service-wrapper" file from 777 to 644 when I clone as root.
