I suffered from something like that, too.  Since then I have a script
"ufind".  It's a wrapper around find that ignores CVS, Subversion, Git
and hg metadata.  Then "my" command would be:

	$ ufind -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r grep -lZ '[$]Id' | xargs -r perl -p -i -e 's/.../'


Where ... is something more restrictive that your .*\$Id.*

For the interessted the script is attached.
