When I worked with cvs and Subversion I remember a feature where we put some notes in the files and every time we did a commit that data was updated. In general the data referred to the date, author and commit number. It was something like the example below
/*
* $Author: joazinho $
* $Rev: 153 $
* $LastChangedDate: 2016-04-15 17:32:15 -0300 (Fri, 15 Apr 2016) $
*/
In Git something similar for me to get the branch / tag, hash or etc ... that is native.
Directly you have not. But you can do scripts to do this for you.
It provides attributes that can be used in your script .
Example:
MYVERSION = '1.090'
## Call script to do updateVersion from .git/hooks/pre-commit
def updateVersion
# We add 1 because the next commit is probably one more - though this is a race
commits = %x[git log #{$0} | grep '^commit ' | wc -l].to_i + 1
vers = "1.%0.3d" % commits
t = File.read($0)
t.gsub!(/^MYVERSION = '(.*)'$/, "MYVERSION = '#{vers}'")
bak = $0+'.bak'
File.open(bak,'w') { |f| f.puts t }
perm = File.stat($0).mode & 0xfff
File.rename(bak,$0)
File.chmod(perm,$0)
exit
end

The whole notion of keyword substitution is just totally idiotic. It's trivial to "outside" the current content tracking, if you want to have it when doing release tar-balls etc.
