Sure there is. Otherwise, if you update X and push it, git won't know what 
to push. Now, yes, if you copy just one file without actually copying the 
commit from A, then you're not going to know the file came from A. But 
that's the case if you stick the file on a USB stick and copy it that way 
too.  Answer: don't do that. Copy commits, not individual files.
