[Wikitech-l] MinusX - a new tool to make sure files aren't executable (+x)

Hi, Occasionally someone will unintentionally create a new file or modify an existing one to set the executable bit (+x). This is almost nearly an accident, and usually someone will come along later and fix them en masse[1][2]. With help from Anomie, I've written a tool, MinusX[3], that will search and for executable files that shouldn't be, and optionally fix them. It's written in PHP and should run as part of "composer test", but operates on all types of files, not just PHP. I've proposed adding this tool to all repositories[4] in an automated manner. If you have any suggestions/feature requests/bugs, feel free to create a ticket in Phabricator or reply here.
