Could you fix file modes, please? readme.txt file almost certainly doesn't need to be executable for anyone. (Just a minor issue.)

Oh? I didn't know it was getting excluded!

Update: oops, I misread "executable" for "excluded". You can ignore the rest of this thread.

I guess you're not a Linux user? See under "Permissions" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions#Traditi... .

Oh sorry. "executable" not "excluded". I misread.

Sure, gonna fix them right now.

Update: done.

He said "executable". Is the executable flag set on readme.txt?

Oh, sorry. I misread. Yes, it's set. Going to remove it. (But I don't find it a big deal that it's set personally.)

Update: done.

It doesn't matter much, but it's a nice and very obvious way of saying "you should run this". You clone the repository, type ls, see one file green, and you can instantly run it, without reading the doc, or guessing.

You're right!
