Fair enough and a good observation.

Git stores such "metadata" like author name + email, authored timestamp, 
committer name + email, commit timestamp, commit message etc in the Git 
repository. File systems alone obviously can't handle such information. 
You can obviously query the Git repository for that information and 
because Git history is all local, it is very fast to retrieve - unlike 
SubVersion, TeamCoherence, CVS etc. that must query a remote server over 
TCP/IP.
