how to handle "files are identical only difference is the date" in git -
usecase:
we service business, running third party software suite our work. develop our own additions , customizations software suite. these customizations interwoven file tree of third party software suite.
our chosen workflow centralized repo on our lan server , local repos on different pcs , cnc machine.
problem solve: our problem file dates in file tree depend on date , time of initial software installation on particular node, may further change, once (frequent) third party patches , updates installed via proprietary patching program.
we push , pull nodes. accordingly, git finds lot of modified files, not modified other having different date stamp. have seen messages in git-gui , (can't remember) git-bash, pointed out situation (file content identical, difference date).
q: practice handle case. ideally, want ignore "modified files" purely date stamp related.
i have searched stack-overflow ideas, came across couple of posts relating ignoring lines of code within files, such dates in pdfs or yard-generated files (whatever are).
