I don’t mind this, since the purpose is to maintain a backup that I can straight-out deploy to the device, except that I don’t want the email telling me that password changed every time (which is hourly for us).

well, some options:
- alter rancid/share/rtrfilter to instead filter by line regex;
  also see rancid.conf(5):DIFFSCRIPT
- have two collections; one which filters passwords/etc, another which
  does not, but which also has no diff-mail recipients.  also see
  rancid.conf(5):FILES section
