Expected behavior Given that there are not scripts in this repository the source, documentation and assets files should have 100644 instead.

Additional context

One way to correct the file permissions is with the following command: % git ls-files | xargs chmod 0644 and then add and commit the changes.

I mean, this isn't something too concerning or destructive. The only reason I hesitate to fix the file permissions is that the latest commit message on every file and folder would be 'Update file permissions,' which would just look weird.

Perhaps we can gradually change it over time, what do you say?

[afh]

Agreed, proper file permissions are a nice-to-have. I see your point about the changes the commit message and rewriting the commit history will introduce new commit SHAs, which has its own set of problems. I remember seeing something in the git release notes of a somewhat recent git release that helped with exactly that: Making large scale changes, yet maintaining git blame info, unfortunately I don't remember the details right now.
