No. Take a moment and think. Two people pull the commits one evening. One gets in during GMT morning, checks their tests, and reports "git commit X passed, have this Tested-by". So, their tested-by is added to the commit, which changes the git ID to Y. Second person gets in during GMT afternoon, and reports "git commit X passed." Now instead of looking in the current branch, I'd have to cross-reference it back to what was originally there, check that's what they actually meant, look that up in the new branch, and apply their tested-by to that instead. More complicated means more things to go wrong.
