I´m new to the Forum, so hello to all!

I want to use git for my cisco config backupdir. In the config files, there 
a autogenerated lines with current username and timestamps. To ignore these 
lines, I generated a filter.

----snip--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
git config filter.ignore_cisco_auto_updates.clean "sed -e '/^! Last 
configuration change at/d' -e '/^! NVRAM config last updated at/d' -e 
'/^ntp clock-period/d' -e '/^: Written by/d' -e '/^! No configuration 
change since/d'" 

git config filter.ignore_cisco_auto_updates.smudge "sed -e '/^! Last 
configuration change at/d' -e '/^! NVRAM config last updated at/d' -e 
'/^ntp clock-period/d' -e '/^: Written by/d' -e '/^! No configuration 
change since/d'"
----snip--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It works fine with one problem. If there is a username in a filtered out 
line and the length of the username differs from the one in the previously 
commited config, the filesize of the two configs differs and git status 
shows this file as changed. 

Is it possible, to ignore the filesize completly, or are there any other 
Workarounds?

Thanks,

Thomas
