Don't do that.

When you have branches A, B and C, and a path F is the same between
branches A and B but different in branch C, if you start from branch
C and switch to branch A, F will be updated and obtain your smudge
tailored for "branch A's instance of F".

But if you then switch to B from that state, F will not even be
modified (i.e. it will keep the contents you prepared for "branch
A's instance of F").

In short, do not make clean/smudge depend on anything but blob
contents.
