git status - list last modified date

Note: I needed to get the modified files sorted by date, so I modified the echo:

git status -s | while read mode file; \
  do echo $mode $(stat -c %y $file) $file; \
done|sort -k1,4

One line:

 git status -s | while read mode file; do echo $mode $(stat -c %y $file) $file; done|sort -k1,4

By echoing first the date (stat), and then the file, I was able to sort from oldest to newest modification.

Sam Hasler adds in the comments:

To preserve spaces in mode:

IFS=''; git status -s | while read -n2 mode; read -n1; read file; do echo $mode $(stat -c %y "$file") $file; done|sort

That is:

IFS=''; git status -s | while read -n2 mode; read -n1; read file; \ 
  do echo $mode $(stat -c %y "$file") $file; \ 
done|sort

Not directly but you can use a pipe:

Note: original answer updated based on comments

Linux:

git status -s | while read mode file; do echo $mode $file $(stat -c %y $file); done

Windows:

git status -s | while read mode file; do echo $mode $(date --reference=$file +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") $file; done

OSX (source):

git status -s | while read mode file; do echo $mode $(stat -f "%Sm" $file) $file; done|sort
