gradle or maven version

Gradle 6.5.1

spotless version

plugins {
    id 'com.diffplug.spotless' version '5.1.0'
}

operating system and version

Running MSYS2 on Windows 10

full Spotless configuration block(s)

    spotless {
        format 'misc', {
            target '*.gradle', '*.md', '*.txt', '.gitignore', '.gitattributes'
            trimTrailingWhitespace()
            indentWithSpaces()
            endWithNewline()
        }
        project.plugins.withType(JavaPlugin) {
            java {
                licenseHeaderFile(rootProject.file('copyright.txt'))
                removeUnusedImports()
            }
        }
    }

git config

$ git config --list --show-origin
...
file:.git/config        core.filemode=true
file:.git/config        core.repositoryformatversion=0
file:.git/config        core.bare=false
file:.git/config        core.logallrefupdates=true
file:.git/config        core.symlinks=false
file:.git/config        core.ignorecase=true
...

Note that the result is the same with core.filemode set to false.

Thanks for the pointers. With java.nio.file.attribute not providing an files system agnostic file mode approach, I believe the only option then would be remembering the original file attributes by copying the original file to the temp location, updating it, and then copying it back to the final location; a PR for this is in the making.
