No.  You can make Git send e-mails on commits using its mechanism
called "hooks" (read the githooks manual page) but hooks are just
scripts calling low-level Git commands to extract the relevant info and
then mailing it somehow (usually assuming a POSIX-like OS).

So it's not like you tick some checkbox somewhere and Git magically
starts sending mails anywhere.
