And people asked me not to be cryptic... even though the OP explicitely
asked for encryption, of course ;)

"git help attributes" may help: look for filter and set attributes and
config (filter.$name.{clean,smudge}) accordingly. smudge should probably
decrypt, clean should encrypt.

BTW: Why not use an encrypted file system? That way your work tree would
be encrypted also.
