Any ideas?  Why is Git 1.7.0.3 jamming a leading '0' on a file mode?

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/141028
and commit c88f0cc (notes: fix malformed tree entry, 2010-02-24).

The regression that that fixes appeared in 61a7cca0 (Notes API:
write_notes_tree(): Store the notes tree in the database, 2010-02-13),
which is not part of 1.7.0.3.

That may be true... but I doubt the tree in question was a notes
tree.  The path entries were names like 'README', 'modules' and
'stewardbot'.  Something I would assume was the project's source
tree, not its notes tree.

Yes, true.  The problem is probably elsewhere, especially because
1.7.0.3 doesn’t even have that commit.  Still, I find this a bit
strange because such breakage should have been noticeable if it
happens often.

What has changed recently that involves writing trees?

Asking grep for "%06o" reveals nothing.  Perhaps somebody else's imitation
implementation?
