Just as with Subversion, the answer is no. Remember that the PortIndex
is specific to the macOS version you are running, so a server-generated
PortIndex could only generate all of them into different files.

Additionally, git does not preserve timestamps from the repository on
checkout, so you might actually end up re-generating the index locally
anyway.
