The synchronization in git works by the way of transferring commit
objects, so no, I don't think so.

Also, your local uncomitted modifications are kept in files that
you've checked out; remote/shared repositories are usually "bare",
that means they have no checked out files. All they contain is the
commit object database files (normally stored under .git).
