## Ignoring commits during `git blame`

Some commits contain large reformatting changes that don't otherwise change functionality. They can
be instructed to be ignored by `git blame` through
[`.git-blame-ignore-revs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/.git-blame-ignore-revs):

1. Configure `git blame` to use `.git-blame-ignore-revs` as the list of commits to ignore: `git
config blame.ignorerevsfile .git-blame-ignore-revs`
2. Add suitable commits that you wish to be ignored by `git blame`.

Please include a comment for the commit that you add to `.git-blame-ignore-revs` so people can
easily figure out *why* a commit is ignored.
