I think the closest thing would be a cron job that runs "git pull" every minute or so. A difference from dynamic views is that it would no longer update your work tree once your changes start conflicting with the upstream changes (in dynamic views, all unmodified files would be updated).

However, rather than trying to make Git behave just like ClearCase dynamic views (there are many other things to consider than automatic updates), I think you would be better off if you actually use ClearCase dynamic views instead.

This is of course the easy case; just run "git pull" manually.
