That sounds more like the effect of umask...  you wouldn't normally have 
permissions of 777 on a file (even an executable one).  Note that the 
effect of the permissions bits is really only to preserve the executable 
bit, not the entire state.

The third case is probably an edit/watch on the file forcing it read 
only.  Updates without merges work OK.. I do them rather a lot!
