Intentionally.

Not using git *per se*. IIRC there are some incantations you can mutter to
get git to attempt to *detect* such changes, but it doesn't ever *track*
them (apart from in so far as it tracks every change).

Best place to ask about that would be the git mailing list. Or just search
the net -- I'm sure someone else has asked the question before.
