Finalement, le Code Civil, c'est une partie du code source de la France. Et le code source, ca va sur un source control. Point.

Which means - correct me if I'm wrong: "The civil code is like a part of the source code of France. And then, it should be in a source control."

Too bad the date stamps only can go back to 1970-1-1. It's neat, though, to be able to flip through the history like this.

Is git using an unsigned int for time?

Ultimately, the civil code is one part of France's source code. And a source code should be on a source control. Period

This would be a great idea in general for the legislature of any country, to be able to see exactly how and when the law was changed would be valuable for transparency and also research. Commit messages could reference transcripts of the debates surrounding changes.
