A better solution would be a Git server hook which would prevent files 
being pushed as executable unless the file matched known executable file 
types. Of course determining what constitutes executable file types 
might not be very easy. I believe a git hook at the Boost superproject 
level would apply to all submodules recursively, but I am not absolutely 
sure that this is true.
