As starting point you might read about `revert-buffer-function' in 
(info "(elisp)Reverting") and about `buffer-stale-function' in
(info "(emacs)Supporting additional buffers")

See also in a dired buffer the values for both variables, and how the
functions work for dired.

I have no special opinion about git. I just use it, without being impressed.
