Only relatively lately, by some local setting that actually does the CR/LF conversion (iirc core.autocrlf). Details are somewhat intricate. There may also be hooks that would allow expansion/shortening of stuff at least similar to $Id$. As for $Id$, the git way is to compile the output of 'git describe --dirty' or similar into the binaries, which will show the last tag (something I don't even know how to find out in svn) reachable from the current commit/revision, the number of commits since, (part of) the current commit id and whether there is a local modification in the sandbox.
