It's a quite off-topic question. But Git is not optimized to track
individual files with separate history
( see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dhZ9BXQgc4 ).
Also, Git uses only 644 and 755 permissions (755 stands for
executables, often scripts - shell scripts, perl, ...), but
usual filesystems provide full range of premissions/ownership.
