You can either ignore that file (add an exclude pattern).
Or not.

"Ignore most of the time unless something else has changed as well"
is not a mode implemented in csync2.

If you can suggest how such a "include-but-dont-trigger" mode
would be implemented, go ahead.

I don't see why you would sync git repos with csync2, though.
Just git push instead...
