git $Id$ smudge filter

shawn wilson· Mar 11, 2014, 21:21 UTC · lore

Currently, I've got a perl script that modifies the Id line in a smudge filter:
[filter "ident-line"]
  smudge = /usr/local/bin/githook_ident-filter.pl %f

The problem I've noticed with smudge filters is that it leaves the repo dirty. How do I fix this? I am basically trying to replicate the behavior of CVS or SVN $Id$ line here.

It somewhat smells fishy to have only smudge filter defined without a corresponding clean filter, doesn't it?
