```
sometimes the chown() function is called even when not needed.
(This can be provoced by running t1301, and adding some debug code)

Save a chmod from 400 to 400, or from 600->600 on these files:
 .git/info/refs+
 .git/objects/info/packs+

Save chmod on directories from 2770 to 2770:
 .git/refs
 .git/refs/heads
 .git/refs/tags
