First of all, there is git beat-with-stick that you should apply to those responsible for that mess ;) If you have to deal with that sort of situation then a textconv filter might get you as close as possible. Use "grep -v '^\* IP.Board v*'" as a textconv filter for those files, and those changes will disappear from the diff. (I do something like that for tracking my gitk config, which stores last window sizes.)
