Actually, this is the official third time now that it would have
been significantly nicer had you been using git for patches as
it does correctly handle excute permissions properly in patches.

And, it allows for side-band commentary such as your NOTE!, above,
to be included in the patch mail, but not in the patch log itself
such that it too doesn't have to be "git commit --amend"'ed out
as well.

In any event, Applied and Adjusted.
