retitle 687391 git: executables in contrib/ should be executable quit I just ran into this same issue with contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg, where all the same reasoning applies as for the contrib hooks.
There are a lot of files in contrib/. Many of them (about 60) are marked executable in git.git upstream. Probably all of the files marked executable upstream should be installed as executable in /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/ and /usr/share/git-core/contrib/, including the hooks and the remote-helpers.
