That part is true, but practically speaking the only thing you can honestly replace is $Id$ with blob object name, and nothing else. Trying to put anything that is available via commit would at best telling a lie and at worst ending up denying the index (and denying the index is denying git as somebody said). You could fake the values for $Author$ and $Date$ from HEAD commit, but your index may or may not match HEAD commit when you check out path from it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
