The permissions are set to reading for all and writing for you(r user)
and your group. This should be no problem with standard git commands.
Before you had the index file executable, why would you need that?

I'm about 90% sure the issue he's having is that the write bit for
other/world goes away and he is neither the user dev or the group dev
and the reason for all the executable bits is that he is regularly
running

    chmod -R 777 .

Justin, if this is true, I will tell you that git respects your umask
but I just can't bring myself to really suggest someone type umask 000
ever. :(
