   aside rant,

   thank gitification for that IMO.

   one of the worst design decisions i've come across in
the modern era was the lack of git respecting file metadata.

   i got bit by this a few weeks ago yet again.  i hate using
git because of it destroying my file meta data.


Not ideal, but you can store your files in a container that maintains metadata and then store that in git.

Ideally you would want a container application that restores files with every metadata attribute as at insertion into the container, but for some purposes that may not be essential for all metadata elements.
