> Did you find an alternative to git in this case ?

No, and I did not look anywhere, but I know of no other VCS that can
adequatly track permissions.

The solution, IMHO, is to enhance git with a configuration
option/policy, which enables to users to choose which permission
bits should be stored and restored. If I had the time, I'd dig into
this right away, since I cannot imagine that it's a difficult
endeavour. It might be more difficult to get the patch past Junio
than to actually write and test it. :)
