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.
