Title:
  Nautilus prompts to execute plain text files on sshfs mounts

Status in “sshfs-fuse” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “sshfs-fuse” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Precise, nautilus 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu3

  [rationale]
  Nautilus (and possibly others) consider all files on a sshfs volume to be executable.

  [test case]
  mkdir /tmp/etc
  sshfs localhost:/etc /tmp/etc
  nautilus /tmp/etc
  => double click on "adduser.conf"

  Nautilus prompts:
  Do you want to run "adduser.conf", or display its contents?
  "adduser.conf" is an executable text file.
  [Run in Terminal] [Display] [Cancel] [Run]

  Of course the "adduser.conf" permissions are fine in the file system
  and in the sshfs mount, it's not executable.

  [regression potential]
  The patch was taken from the upstream maling-list by the main developer, so it should be safe. Worst case scenario, I'd expect sshfs to fail pretty badly which should be discovered quite easily by testing.
