mergemaster and etcupdate can cope without them.
Mergemaster is looking for "[$]${ID_TAG}:" (note the colon) which will
break with the git "$FreeBSD$" scheme. This makes autoupdate annoyingly
explicit as local changes to /etc files will no longer be recognized as
"accepted".
Furthermore, will the replay from git to svn (for stable branches)
retain the existing "$FreeBSD: ..." tags? I guess not...
The only sensible way out is to retire mergemaster and switch to
etcupdate. This would affect any stable/1? users building from source.
IMHO this is suprising behaviour and deserves a note in UPDATING.
Kind regards

We can still make use of these $FreeBSD$ tags with Git clean and smudge
filters.[1] This will help to keep the track of files updated by
mergemaster(8) or etcupdate(8). The whole work can be done at
local git repository administrator level.
The filters should be applied to only the files important for mergemagster.
Applying filters to the whole repository incredibly slows it down.
So far I found the reasonable subset of filtered files looking like this:
etc/*
etc/*/*
libexec/rc/*
libexec/rc/rc.d/*
*.conf
dot.??*
lib/libc/gen/shells
lib/libc/net/hosts
lib/libpam/pam.d/*
usr.sbin/cron/cron/crontab
crypto/openssh/ssh*_config
