I propose extending [fossil changes] to report when a file's execute bit
has changed or it has become a symlink or ceased to be a symlink.

For various annoying reasons, many times I've unwittingly checked in a
bunch of execute or symlink brokenness, sometimes not discovering it
until much later.  Running [fossil changes] before [fossil commit] isn't
enough to protect me from this problem.

My question is whether this extra level of reporting should be standard
[fossil changes] behavior or only accessible if an extra option is
supplied.  My vote is to make it always report execute bit and symlink
state changes.
