index.add() method add support for "chmod=+x" #1021
Description
Activity
Unless you explicitly require GitPython for 'plumbing', it is recommended to use
Repo(path).git.add(…, chmod='+x'), which supports all flags that git supports. You can read more about that in the respective section of the docs.Even though I am closing this issue assuming you don't actually need plumbing, please let me know if you do which would make this a feature request or bugfix. Thank you
Thank you Byron. I actually used the
repo.git.addas a solution and it works well. I was just thinkingindex.addis more like a native solution for GitPython and expect to be as versatile as git shell command. Up to you to judge :)Reacted by Sebastian Thiel- locked and limited conversation to collaborators

On Windows OS, if you have a unix file with permission 100755
-rwxr-xr-x, aftergit add, the staged file will miss thexpermission and becomes 100644-rw-r--r--as shown ingit ls-files --stage. git add has the option `--chmod=+x' to handle this problem. Can gitpython also add this feature in index.add() method?
