The pax archive format allows for comments; you can store the commit ID in a (archive-)global comment. Archivers are supposed to ignore it and GNU tar at least does so. You can extract the ID with $ dd bs=1 skip=523 count=41 2>/dev/null < TARFILE because it would always end up at that position at the start of the archive.
