Hi,

I have following PHPDoc code in files of my repository:

/**
 * Class description
 * @version 1.2
 */
 class Name…

Is there a chance that git could increment this @version automatically
on each commit

No, but see GIT-VERSION-GEN and "git help describe" for info on how to
replace such version tags using a script when you cut a release of your
project.

or stamp the file somehow?


Yes. It can only do so using the blob id though. Things like this can
be done in CVS and Subversion because
a) CVS and SVN are file-based. The version they write are not the
  version of the *project*, but the version of the file (not even
  remotely the same thing).
b) they do not really support proper branching.

In git (which is snapshot based and supports branching very well indeed),
it *could* be done, but it would incur such an enormous performance
penalty when switching branches, creating a new commit or re-writing
history (since every file would have to be altered) that it's never
been considered worth adding.
