2. It's a little hard to see which tests are affected. I would have done
   something more like:

  if test "$(git config --bool core.filemode)" = true
    test_filemode=
  else
    test_filemode=:
  fi

  $test_filemode test_expect_success ...

  But maybe that is just overengineering.

But a nice one. I like the idea but Junio already did your other
suggestions in master, so I just keep it in mind for the next one

If you like that, I think you would like the way t0050 does even better
;-).  It is Steffen Prohaska's invention, IIRC.
