Typically, you have the $Id$ stuff in released versions to indicate what revision that version came from even if the files are no longer in a Git repository. And you can have that without ever committing anything in-between, by using the export-subst attributes with git-archive. Have a look at Documentation/gitattributes.txt (I agree it is underdocumented in git-archive.txt). If that is not your use case, then it may be wise to let us Git people know what you _actually_ want (i.e. instead of asking for a specific solution, you could tell us what your problem is).
