It's not possible using the default git interface. However, git supports aliases.

Using an alias, it's possible to invoke a different git command, or even run arbitrary shell scripts. Create a script containing the two commands, and alias it.

See the wiki for more information on aliases, and this question for this specific scenario.

Edit: note that this is not such a good idea. The chances are you'll end up adding unnecessary files by mistake, or having a useless alias due to non-versioned files in the tree.
