Method for updating the ID on every commit

I'm wondering if someone can recommend a method for updating the ID
keyword in a file on every commit.

What I'm looking for is something akin to the "About" dialog in many
compiled programs, where they state exactly what version the code is.

Since this is exclusively for web applications, I was thinking I
could just insert the ID keyword into about.html and it would be
updated on every commit. Of course, I quickly discovered that that
wouldn't work, but the alternative: touching about.html prior to
every commit, seems unworkable.

Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance.
