Something like $Id$, $Revision$ or $Date$?

Hello,

as probably many of you know CVS supported some magic tags which were
replaced in committed files to a predefined value.  For instance, if
there was a "$Revision$" string in a file it would get replaced with
"$Revision: x.y $" (or "$Revision: x.y.z.w $" and so on) where "x.y" is
file's revision number.

Now, what I need is such feature in GIT.  Upon committing I would like
some magic string (say "$Date$") to be replaced with some value
identifying uniquely given version of a file (a date of the commit would
be sufficient).

I tried using some hooks for it but couldn't came up with anything that
would actually work.
