Or: the post-commit hook used in the workaround looks up the prior
branch via @{-1}, finds all files common between @ & @{-1} that don't
share a latest commit, deletes those files and replaces them singly
with the results of git-archive using the latest commits of those
files relative to @. ("All files common between @ & @{-1}" would need
to be either all non-locally-modified files or making use of git-stash
{save,pop} to preserve local modifications.) All this assumes having
reversible $Format$ strings, so the clean filter can restore the
proper $Format$ string.
Might be worth doing just so there's at least 1 accurate and
maybe-fast "git rcs keywords substitution using smudge/clean filters"
project on github. ;) Otherwise, users of "git-keyword-substitution"
and "git-rcs-keywords" are being led astray.
