It's caused by your filemode=false

refer to http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0609/28190.html

Ignore executable bit when adding files if filemode=0.

If the user has configured core.filemode=0 then we shouldn't set the execute bit in the index when adding a new file as the user has indicated that the local filesystem can't be trusted.

This means that when adding files that should be marked executable in a repository with core.filemode=0 the user must perform a 'git update-index --chmod=+x' on the file before committing the addition.
