Aside from modifying Git itself to support such a use-case, another (perhaps more pragmatic) approach would be to use a tool, such as direnv[1], which automatically sets environment variables for you depending upon your current working directory, or just use some ad-hoc shell programming to achieve the same (for instance, [2]).
