My 5 cents:
Git is REVISION control, It make sense to use it if files are modified.
Email is static files so it's better to use any backup system with
archiving capabilities (gzip or similar). It provide ability to copy
partially or just some old years to another HDD that is not possible
with git.
Also you can archive by dsync to that new server with account on mdbox
account with gzip compression. That will save space and gives you full
access to all email.

P.S. there are many options to choose. I use borg to backup
everything, including email and mdbox format with separate folder for
attachments that deduplicate attachments on backups and in filesystem.
