.git-blame-ignore-revs

[lemmyg]

Description

Hello,
I was trying to use .git-blame-ignore-revs option with egit plugin. Seems to me that egit ignores the parameter when I do comparisons.
I have my .git/config file with blame ignoreRegsFile to .git-blame-ignore-revs

If manually I run git blame, I can see that git is filtering correctly all commits I have in .git-blame-ignore-revs

Im doing anything wrong? could be implemented?

Thanks

Motivation

support useful git feature

Did you mean the config option blame.ignoreRevsFile [1] ?

Sorry if it wasnt clear. Using the command git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs Github for example detects the config but egit looks like is does not use it. Thanks Sent from Proton Mail Android

Just to add a use case example, this issue arose when I had to port a Python project from tabs to spaces. Ignoring those commits would be useful. Sent from Proton Mail Android

This would need to be done in JGit (config handling, using it in BlameCommand). Not sure EGit would need anything on top of that.

I have created a simple example in github.
I hope it helps
https://github.com/lemmyg/blameTest

github blame detects the config
[blame]
ignoreRevsFile = .git-blame-ignore-revs

but egit ignore it.
