How to discard only mode changes with Git

I found this snippet that does exactly what I want.

git diff -p \
    | grep -E '^(diff|old mode|new mode)' \
    | sed -e 's/^old/NEW/;s/^new/old/;s/^NEW/new/' \
    | git apply

I assigned this snippet to a git alias then I can type git fix-perm in directories where permissions are messed up.

git config --global alias.fix-perm "!f(){ git diff -p | grep -E '^(diff|old mode|new mode)' | sed -e 's/^old/NEW/;s/^new/old/;s/^NEW/new/' | git apply; }; f"
