MELPA? I'm not aware of ada-mode in MELPA (https://melpa.org/). The
official distribution is in Gnu ELPA (https://elpa.gnu.org/); I'll
assume that's what you meant.

That's because of the way git handles the executable bit. I'm using
Cygwin git (on Windows 8.1), so maybe that's the problem, but I've never
been able to get the permissions to stay set properly; they get
overwritten seemingly randomly.

I'm switching to Mingw64 git, so I guess it's time to try again. Do you
have any suggestions on how to get the executable bits set in git
correctly, and permanently?
