core.fileMode::
If false, the executable bit differences between the index and
the working tree are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT.
See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
is to be honored.

The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
will probe and set core.fileMode false if appropriate when the
repository is created.
Some filesystems lose the executable bit when a file that is
marked as executable is checked out, or checks out an
non-executable file with executable bit on.
linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
+
A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
when created, but later may be made accessible from another
environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
Git for Windows or Eclipse).
In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
+
The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
core.ignorecase::
If true, this option enables various workarounds to enable
