git_file_permissions.txt
... git didn’t like that some of the permissions had changed on the files within my repos.
So, after reading the manual for a while, I discovered I could issue the following:
git config core.filemode false
According to the git manual:
core.fileMode
If false, the executable bit differences between the index and the
working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT.
See git-update-index(1). True by default.
