No, since this would wreck people's workflows: - compile in branch "master" - switch to branch "topic" - compile - switch back to branch "master" Now you _want_ files in "master" that were changed in "topic" to be recompiled. This is a quite common case. However, nothing hinders you having your own ".gitmtimes" in the tree, and a script people can use as a hook, which applies the mtimes to the files.
