are file permissions , owner:group properties included in git commits? how these properties of files , directories handled throughout git pipeline [commit, push, pull, merge, etc] ?

files in git assigned either 644 (owner rw-, group , other r--) or 755 (owner rwx, group , other r-x). ownership information not stored.

this deliberate, , well-explained this post git's maintainer, junio hamano:

actually in days, git used record full (mode & 0777) blobs.

once people started using git, realized had unpleasant side effect resulting tree depended on user's umasks, because 1 person records blob mode 664 , next person modifies file record mode 644, , made hard keep track of meaningful changes source code. issue fixed long time ago commit e447947 (be more liberal file mode bits., 2005-04-16).
