bazaar: I do not want to commit changes to file permissions

I am wanting to commit some changes I have made, but somehow on my Cygwin system, bzr diff shows that every single file had the executable permission switched on ("+x"). How can I commit everything except any file permission changes?

In my case, the easier method (which I'm about to try) is to globally change all files to lose executable permission. However, I still would like a general answer to the problem of how to selectively not commit file permission changes.

Changing it globally is probably your best bet. It is also a problem when mounting fat32 partitions (eg. usb keys) under linux. There is a bug for this. I got sort of halfway fixing it so that it will be auto detected, but dirstate was a bit difficult to work with and then I ran out of time.

You should be able to change the files to no longer be executable by running "bzr revert" on them. Alternatively, you could just run something like "chmod -R a-X ." to remove the executable bit from all files.

There is no way in Bazaar to only commit the content changes of a file and not the metadata changes at the moment.
