Just in case someone thinks this is something useful, I've got a PR filed
against git to implement custom $Id$. There are no technical issues with
the change but Git developers are not very keen on merging it in, since
they see this as an obscure feature, no one needs. :-/ So if anyone wants
to chime in on GitHub or git mailing list please do so.

Thanks!
