Thanks for all the replies so far. Very much appreciated. I sort of had an inclination this wouldn't be possible in Git although I hadn't fully appreciated why (thanks Konstantin Khomoutov for the laymans-guide to the theory ! ).
I was also unware of the existence of smudge/clean filters (thanks Magnus !). However Konstantin's suggestion of templates seems to be what is likely to be the most sensible long-term solution.
