No, but see GIT-VERSION-GEN and "git help describe" for info on how to replace such version tags using a script when you cut a release of your project.

Yes. It can only do so using the blob id though. Things like this can be done in CVS and Subversion because a) CVS and SVN are file-based. The version they write are not the version of the *project*, but the version of the file (not even remotely the same thing). b) they do not really support proper branching.
In git (which is snapshot based and supports branching very well indeed), it *could* be done, but it would incur such an enormous performance penalty when switching branches, creating a new commit or re-writing history (since every file would have to be altered) that it's never been considered worth adding.
