git-utimes [--newer]

Change files modification time to their last commit date. Does not touch files that are in the working tree or index.

--newer

Preserves the original modification time of files that were committed from the local repo, by only touching files that are newer than their last commit date.

Update all files' modification time to their last commit date, except those in working tree or index:

$ git utimes

As above, but preserve original modification time of files that were committed from local repo:

$ git utimes --newer
