    Changes view: show changed file permissions
Current Behavior:
SmartGit’s Changes pane currently displays the unchanged file content twice when only a file’s permissions have changed. However, it does not show the actual mode difference (e.g., 100644 → 100755), making it difficult to audit permission changes without switching to external tools like the Git CLI.
Proposed Enhancement:
Display the exact file mode change inline in the Changes pane, such as:
File mode changed: 100644 → 100755
This should appear clearly above or alongside the diff view when no content changes are present.
Benefits:
- Improves visibility of non-content changes
- Helps developers catch unintended permission toggles
- Reduces reliance on Git CLI for metadata inspection
- Enhances trust and transparency in cross-platform workflows

Where exactly the file mode change should be displayed? Could you please create a mock-up of the Changes view?
