Thanks to Eric Blake and Larry Hall I found a workaround for my git 
build environment.

Instead of doing just

     git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

I did the following:

     mkdir git
     cd git
     getfacl . | grep 'user::\|group::\|mask\|other' | setfacl -f - .
     git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git .

This way the root git folder is stripped of any additional items in the 
ACL list except the basic user, group and other entries.  These settings 
are propagated to all the child files and directories created during 
checkout.

If the ACL contains only the three basic entries "chmod -x abc && test ! 
-x abc" holds.

Thank you :)
