The usual solution is to put _template_ under version control (for
example <projfile>.sample), and have build system create initial
custom version during first build. Local project file is untracked
and ignored, and project file template is tracked.

Are you sure that is how CVS does it? Because from what I read in CVS
manual, CVS and Git approach to ignore files are the same wrt. already
tracked files.

There is assume-unchanged mechanism... which is _explicitely_
mentioned in "Notes" section of gitignore(7) manpage. RTFM, please.
