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.
