This solution came up relatively recently. Thanks for the clarification and the link, Andrey; it certainly gives me a better picture of what's going on. Unfortunately, per my previous email, configuring Git with "core.fileMode=false" won't help me because I still want to enforce file permissions and not ignore it. Other developers sometimes inadvertently set the wrong permission on some files and I want to be able to revert them to the correct permission upon my next commit of the files. Calling 'setfacl -b' on the parent folder containing the project suggested by Ken may be the best course of action until Git changes its behavior. Thanks again to both of you for the depth of information provided.
