Some of my collaborators use Overleaf with the git bridge to interact with our version-controlled drafts. The git bridge is broken, and overwrites git filemodes, erasing executable bits without the user's request; even on files that the Overleaf user doesn't touch. This breaks scripts that we need to produce figures. Every time we have a new paper to work on we have a problem. It drives me crazy. Overleaf claims that this would require a nontrivial overhaul of their software, which I find hard to believe. But their code is complicated enough that I can't just look at it and find the fix. https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/issues/765 https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/issues/765
