Hello,
Some XML source files in the en/ tree have their executable permissions
set [1]. Is there a specific reason for this? This is a bit confusing,
for example for translators: I first thought it meant something like "Do
not translate", or another warning about the file.
Maybe they were inserted into the repository from a Windows computer? I
have noticed that files on a Windows computer, when accessed from a
Linux computer, have their executable permissions set.
Greetings,
Jan Fabry
[1]: To see these files for yourself, you can do `find -perm -111 -type
f` in the en/ tree. I found 33 matches.
