git only looks at the executable bit, all other mode bits will be ignored. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3207728/retaining-file-permissions-with-git for further information.

To change the executable bit of a file in your repo and commit it you can do the following:

chmod -x file.cpp # remove executable bit
chmod +x script.sh # add executable bit
git add file.cpp script.sh
git commit

Well, but what are 100755 and 100644 in Luda commit?

[birna]

He's removing the executable bit in that commit. git will always use 644 (rw-r--r--) or 755 (rwxr-xr-x). Even if you add a new file with different permissions to your repository, people who clone your repo will get the default git permissions.

Well, i'm modifying file permission with "chmod 644 FILE", and add with "git add FILE" but Git GUI not detect file modification.. (I'm on windows)

I think changes in file permissions are not detected by Git GUI by default.

git update-index --chmod=644 file
