Re: [PATCH] init - Honour the global core.filemode setting

The first sentence says what happens, as it should.

But it is not directly clear what makes the executable bit differ
and when it is a useful thing to ignore the differences, so the
second sentence that says "This may be useful" does not give the
reader very much.

Clearly a major improvement.

Does this (still) include the original line
"See linkgit:git-update-index[1]"

which helps the user to add *.sh files "executable" to the index, even if
core.filemode is false ?

Thanks for catching; I omitted the reference by accident.

Perhaps end that sentence like this instead?

	... may be necessary to set this variable to `false`, and
	maintain the executable bit with `git update-index --chmod`
