If this is this simple to regenerate, consider my response here a very strong +1; let's kill $id$ out of the git repository and generate this some how at the rsync level if users need it or give them a tool that will generate it. I don't object to someone having a way to get this information if it is useful to them, but I don't think we need a placeholder for it in the git repository. William
