git/fs: use a better heuristic for permissions.
Since we now store /dist/plan9front in git, the
initial assumption that the owner of the repo
is the person touching it is not always true.
This change gives us a better heuristic for the
file permissions we should have in the files we
copy around, basing it off of the permissions of
the .git directory.
