If you look at 'man gitattributes' you'll find a description of the
'ident' attribute which is expanded to the SHA1 of the containing file
 during checkout.

There is also a description of the 'export-subst' attribute which can
be used to expand keywords when generating tar/zip files with
'git-archive'. It supports commit SHA1 and date, among others.

Btw: using git-archive means that you don't need a local repository on
the webserver, you only need a proper git installation. Essentially,
you can update your webserver 'checkout' with something like this:

$ git archive --remote=<url> --prefix=somepath/ master | tar -x
