Thanks Joshua, this worked great! For anyone else needing this, I switched off timestamps, then created a tiddler containing the following button:
<$button> Do The Thing <$list filter="[is[tiddler]]"> <$action-deletefield afieldthatdoesntexist="" /> </$list> </$button> Clicked the button, then turned timestamps back on, and all the changes showed up in Git as expected. (For whatever reason the $action-deletefield form with $field="afieldthatdoesntexist" did not do anything when I clicked the button. Not sure what was up with that.)
