Test Scenario

Create two files in a remote folder to simulate the wiki install on the server.

Change their permissions and ownership to match what's on the server:

~/gittest/remote$ ls -l
total 24
-rwxrwx--- 1 ptruchon www-data 26 Dec 26 10:20 file1.txt
-rwxrwx--- 1 ptruchon www-data 26 Dec 26 10:20 file2.txt

Initialize git:

git init
git add .
git commit -m 'initial commit on remote'
git log
commit 0e5ccdedd1c9188996aadad3a8e2be5a319ab789 (HEAD -> master)
Author: Patrick Truchon <patoo@rbox.me>
Date:   Sun Dec 26 10:21:24 2021 -0800
 
    initial commit on remote

Create a local folder and clone from remote:

git clone ~/gittest/remote/ ~/gittest/local/

The log looks good:

git log
ptruchon@ThinkPad-T440:~/gittest/local$ git log
commit 0e5ccdedd1c9188996aadad3a8e2be5a319ab789 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Patrick Truchon <patoo@rbox.me>
Date:   Sun Dec 26 10:21:24 2021 -0800
 
    initial commit on remote

But the www-data group ownership wasn't preserved:

~/gittest/local$ ls -l
total 24
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ptruchon ptruchon 26 Dec 26 10:24 file1.txt
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ptruchon ptruchon 26 Dec 26 10:24 file2.txt
