Thanks for the input guys, I've come to the conclusion that the extra
effort needed to properly implement this is not worth the benefit of
the outcome.

As some of you mentioned, ls -l `which git` is better suited for the
purpose, and that can be done universally for all files where the
filesystem stores the create timestamp of each.
