 Summary:
-  * When cloning from remote to local, ''www-data'' group ownership is not preserved.
+  * When cloning from remote to local or pushing from local to remote, ''www-data'' group ownership and ''770'' permissions are not preserved.
-  * When pushing local changes to remote, need to checkout a different branch on remote first, and permissions are not preserved.
+  * When pushing local changes to remote, the remote master can't be checkout out.
