No, there isn't. Git tracks only whether the executable bit is set.
All file modes are either 644 or 755.
If you need the permissions or ownership on the file to be different,
you can do that by using a script to copy the files into another
location with the proper permissions or ownership instead of using the
copies in the repository. For example, I do this with my dotfiles such
that the files have the correct permissions.
