The deletion test added by e95d515141 (apply: canonicalize modes read from patches, 2024-08-05) wants to make sure that git-apply does not complain about a non-canonical mode in the patch, even if that mode does not match the working tree file. So it does this: echo content >non-canon && git add non-canon && chmod 666 non-canon && This is wrong, because running chmod will update the ctime on the file, making it stat-dirty and causing git-apply to refuse to apply the patch. But this only happens sometimes, since it depends on the timestamps crossing a second boundary (but it triggers pretty quickly when run with --stress). We can fix this by doing the chmod before updating the index. The order isn't important here, as the mode will be canonicalized to 100644 in the index anyway (in fact, the chmod is not even that important in the first place, since git-apply will only look at the index; I only added it as an extra confirmation that git-apply would not be confused by it).
