I'm glad to have you confirm that. I wasn't sure if git would do something clever and reading the .gitattributes from the same commit as the file for which is being checked out. If the above would work, then even simpler: (1) Commit a file with $Id: blah blah blah $ in it. (2) Add a .gitattributes with ident (3) Check out. Patch to follow.
