Hello folks, I do a nightly mysqldump of a database and check it into a git repository. mysqldump generates a timestamp as part of that output which is causing git to think that the file changes every night when it really doesn't. The timestamp is simply in an SQL comment. So what I'd like to do is teach git to ignore that particular SQL timestamp comment. I've tried to set up an external diff script that runs diff -I "<<sql timestamp comment>>" that effectively ignores the timestamp. While this works with "git diff", it seems when git commits, it still sees the differences. How do I properly teach git to ignore these types of differences?
