I'm not sure what you're talking about.  If you pull with
the -u flag in your scripts, then copied files will be owned
by sys, despite being owned by rob or whoever on sources.
If you don't have it, they'll be owned by lucio or whoever runs
pull.

In no case should you end up with files owned by rob or by none.
