Subject: Feature idea: Ignore content

Hi,
Often, I find that I need to track a file which contains a small
portion I don't want to track (read: line with a password). Instead of
moving that out to a separate file and ignoring that file, is it a
good idea to add a feature to Git to allow ignoring content instead of
whole files? Since Git by nature tracks content, this shouldn't be too
hard to implement, right?
