Wouldn't it be sufficient to:

 (1) prepare a file with "$Id$", use ident in .gitattributes,
     check it in and commit;

 (2) remove it from the working tree, check it out with
     "checkout -f";

 (3) temorarily move away .gitattributes, modify the file, and
     check it in;

 (4) move .gitattributes back into its place, and commit.
