Recentemente, importei minhas chaves para uma nova máquina (Mac) e esqueci de modificar as permissões para 600. Ao fazer isso, escrevi acidentalmente chownem vez de chmod. Estranhamente, isso corrigiu o problema de permissão, como pode ser visto aqui:
% git pull origin develop

Por que esse é o caso?
