Comment (by rhaas):

 Well this method may be slower since it two calls to git per file rather
 than one call to ln per file and one call to git for all files together at
 the end.

 As for modes: apparently git ignores everything (see http://git-
 scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects and search for 120000) but
 "file/directory" and "executable/not-executable". I have however amended
 to branch to pass the full mode information.
