I am both. There's only one user on this machine and he is me.

Yes, true. I have a program that I use to edit some of these files
(not the git files) that likes to screw up permissions. It's a long
story. Anyway, I've been running that chmod regularly since well
before this git issue started. I'll start using 644 for the chmod and
see if that helps.
