Given that git currently doesn't maintain any metadata other than +x/-x, how
are you maintaining the metadata for your homedir items?  I know some schemes
were discussed here in the past, but I'm curious as to what you settled on.
For example, your .netrc file needs to be 600, but git won't track that.
