sed -i is not portable on all systems. Use sed with different input and output files. Utilize a tmp file whenever needed

Making it shorter and more correct ;-), which is good, but you are losing the && chaining. Also it is more customary to have redirection at the end, unless it is to redirect a numbered file descriptor (e.g. "echo >&2 error message"). I.e.

	sed "s/Revision/Revision: do not scrub me/" <filek >fileko &&
	sed "s/Id/Id: do not scrub me/" <fileko >file_text
