title: How to keep git from changing file ownership
body: <p>I have been noticing that when I pull from my github repo on a development server(Red Hat) the ownership of the files change after the pull is completed. The .git file used to be owned by me but then I noticed that it would write files as me and I need it to write files as a different user. So i changed the ownership of the .git directory. </p>
  
  <p>I stumbled on to git config <code>core.filemode</code> which was true. I since have set to it false. I have not seen a difference after setting this to false. What should I do to keep my files ownership from changing. </p>
  
  <p>This doesn't happen to me locally.</p>
