Not as far as I know, but this isn't necessary. Git is a distributed system, so any changes that an user does only exist in their local repository until they push the changes out to some other repository, and with gitolite[0] you can restrict who can push to which branches.

If you just want people to be able to browse the repository, maybe installing gitweb or cgit would fit your needs better.
