Git has one main context where continuing to support expansion might make sense:

When using git archive to create a tarball of a tree (for rolling a release or 
whatever), if the .gitattributes file has "export-subst" set for a file, it 
will do expansion at that time.

However, I think it uses $Format$ instead of being able to define custom tags, 
so it's less convenient than $FreeBSD$ was.
