Not in English it isn't. Also, as much as I hate to correct a native speaker of the language (although I suppose Francais Québecois may be different) - répartir means something different from repartir.

'Repartee' comes from an old meaning for the verb 'repartir' which isn't used in modern French. The word was borrowed from French by the English back when French was considered a very prestigious language to learn (especially for diplomats). At the time, 'repartir' was used to mean 'to retort'. The word was Anglicised as 'repartee' (seeing as one of the conjugations of 'repartir' is 'repartie') and the meaning stayed the same in English (as do most loan words from other languages), whereas in French it changed because the word already had several meanings, with 'to retort' being a rather non-literal definition which fell out of use.
