… to os.chmod so that the chmod will not be called if the file is already 755. This fixes a problem when the file is owned by root and gitosis gitosis-init run as a non-root user fails with Operation not permitted

When using gitosis for multiple users, the hooks are installed as root. init.py tries to chmod 755 the hooks whenever a repository is initialized even if the user it's running as does not own the files. It shouldn't need to make them 755 if they are already 755. I first just tried making them owned by git, but then others wanted to use it as well and they kept getting the operation not permitted on the chmod. The stat-before-chmod works better on shared systems.
