Comment 2 for bug 1812003

@Seth it's only changing the permissions on the files as packaged, the files have no sense if they're not executable (and so snapcraft was erroring out in that case).

It's not touching the source tree or anything. It's also only changing the executable bit on files which are expected to be hooks. If for whatever reason they're files of any type you mention, I don't see how it would help, since the user being told they need to be executable, they'd just `chmod +x` it?
