To avoid the possibility of any executable binaries being put into the OpenJDK "source" repositories, we disallowed any files with execute permissions. I myself think this is a good policy and I don't think we should change that policy. I have seen too many files creep into source repositories with execute permissions that were actually mistakes. -kto
