Windows: Freshly cloned repo appears dirty due to executable files

[rojer]

On Windows, a freshly-cloned repo will appear dirty if it contains executable files.
The "change" is to them non-executable: mode 100755 -> 100644.
The repo is detected as dirty by both git.exe and go-git itself.

File modes on Windows is a pain. To that end, a workaround of setting core.filemode option to false on clone would be acceptable, but i couldn't find a way to do it.
