Storing it is fairly easy.  You can use getfacl in the pre-commit hook to 
record all the file information you want.

The hard part (at the moment) is that there is no post-checkout hook that you 
could use to restore those attributes.

If you were willing to manually run that restoration script after every 
checkout then there is your answer.
