No, there isn't. Git controls source files only. It's not used in any way to
build code. The only exception is the version tag imported from git if
available.

If you can't keep your git tree clean (pretty hard with active development)
then you should:
1. User out-of-tree building:
cd wine.git
mkdir ../wine.git-build
cd ../wine.git-build
../wine.git/configure && make depend && make all

2. Clean up your source tree (remove everything except .git):
cd wine.git
rm -rf *
git checkout -f
