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?

You might be interested in reading Documentation/gitattributes.txt, 
look for "diff driver".

It will show an empty output for "git diff", but I doubt thit will 
change anything at commit time. Probably the "filter" thing on the same 
file (also "man gitattributes") can help though.

Ah, right.  I completely missed that you were talking about git-commit, 
not git-log on git commits.

Yes, setting up a "clean" filter that removes the timestamps is probably 
the reasonable thing to do here.

Sorry for the noise,
