This is all very strange.
At some point you probably did *something* as root (and by "you" it might not have even been an action you personally took, but maybe some cron job you forgot about; who knows). But otherwise I don't think there's any way that would have happened. This happens to me too sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Git repos don't store anything about uid/gid of files (that would be disastrous); in fact IIRC the only information it stores about file permissions is whether or not the executable bit should be set. > On Sunday, November 25, 2018 at 9:41:58 PM UTC-6, Samuel Lelievre wrote: >> >> > As far as I can recall 'git pull' was always done as a normal user. >> > Note the timestamp on the folders, which predates 8.5.beta4. >> > And this issue did not manifest itself then.
