It sounds like you are trying to apply these as patches to a tree
which doesn't have RCS headers.  As far as I can tell, P4 completely
ignores whatever the $Id: ...$ headers happen to be expanded to at the
time of checking.  You can put garbage there, and it check in fine.

I've been checking in files for many years with stripped headers.  I
wrote a python script years ago to strip the P4 headers after Perforce
was unwilling to implement this as an option.

I guess it isn't a problem to make this optional in git-p4, but I
don't think this patch is solving the right problem.
