Thanks, I've reduced this to a minimal test for Eric, so hopefully it 
should be resolved soon.  I've also implemented comparison of execute 
permissions in my script checking branch tips, so future conversions will 
be fully checked in that regard (including the one I'm running right now, 
although since that one is with unfixed reposurgeon the comparison will 
just show exactly where there are problems - which should help show 
whether there are any cases of permission issues different from my minimal 
test; all cases I see on trunk / master match the pattern of that minimal 
test).

This has been implemented, so future conversion runs (again, not the one 
running right now, which just addresses issues 4 and 5 from my list and is 
based on r279452 rather than r279402 so includes two days' more changes 
from SVN) will have .cvsignore files included in the git repository.
