Only with third-party extra tools such as Metastore (or etckeeper that
uses it), or git-cache-meta (or IsiSetup), see
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Interfaces,_frontends,_and_tools
Git itself doesn't store original file time, and with its intended use
it would screw up mtime-based make rebuilding.
