Subject: blame --ignore-rev - add place to specify defaults at repo level
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 10:07:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEziGD9bWPfV+L5z_-drATT8Fxvj=8hzNAQcNH9f9Ez+ncaEvw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The new blame options (--ignore-rev, --ignore-revs-file) and config options
(blame.markIgnoredLines, blame.markUnblamables, blame.ignoreRevsFile) are
great, and much appreciated. However, for my primary use (one-time
automated reformatting of an entire repository), there is still some
friction preventing adoption.
Adding a default location for the config options (much like .gitignore)
specified above would have the following benefits:
1. New users of a repository would not need to take the extra step of
configuring their workspace for blame. This is most impactful for open
source projects with many contributors.
2. Git services (github, gitlab, etc.) could incorporate this feature
into their blame systems automatically.
If this has already been discussed, please point me to the thread, as I am
a new member of this list.
If my proposal is worth considering, I'd be happy to provide more input.
