As a fascinating addition, I have discovered that bzr somehow does in fact turn executable bit monitoring on and off somehow.

I have two identical branches, yet one recognizes changes to the executable bit, and the other does not.
They are currently at the same revno, with the same working tree, on the same file system. Yet one notices that the executable bit has changed and the other does not.
I dual boot Windows and Linux, and I think perhaps grill-2 was made using Linux (but still on the NTFS file system), whereas grill may have been made using windows.
I frequently have issues with branches I work and test in both Windows and Linux and various file systems. Is there a setting I can set somehow to make bzr ignore and then not ignore the executable bit for files?

I have attached the two identical working trees for your convenience.
