I do know it is not a place to discuss product specific problems, yet I try to ask a Git specific question that arouse in a Git GUI product.
The Phing PHP library has the $id$ notation in their source code header and the Git GUI product keeps extending the SHA-1 gitattribute filter onto those files making them appear as modified versions. Please see the screenshot below how this looks like.
Can someone disable this built in filter in a gitattribute file? It can be only applied to PHP files.
Just read Git's documentation and fix your .gitattributes
accordingly
Git expand %Id% only if if your case met two conditions:
%Id%
keyword used in file AND attribute ident
is set for a path of type (of this file) in .gitattributes
