[...] There's a Go-based version[1] which does support storing

Since mtree is a key-value format, you can also extend the value with
other data. I use a similar format in my dotfiles to specify install
location, for instance, so I recommend this as a good way to store this
data.
I just installed gomtree, and read my xattrs: looks very promising!
Thank you for the suggestion. :)
I'll read up on "post-checkout hooks" to see how I can integrate this in
my git setup.
In case anyone's curious, here's an example of gomtree's output text for
a file annotated using `yt-dlp --xattr`:
