To be clear here, I do NOT want to use a .gitignore because it is important that these changes still get saved to the repository. The software that I am using saves each component of my project with a property called 'lastModificationSignature' that will update on every component every time I export it to Bitbucket. This makes a big mess when I look at the diff between two commits. What I would like is a way to have Bitbucket ignore these changes when showing the diff. All of these files share the same name, but exist in various folders. If anyone knows if there is a way to do this please let me know. Thank you!
