git blame --ignore-rev to accept tree objects

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear list members,

In the manual entry for blame.ignoreRevsFile in git-config(1) it says “unabbreviated object name”, which misled me into thinking I could specify tree objects rather than commit objects. This got me thinking, how useful it could be, to be able to include detailed instructions how to ignore a particular commit *in its own commit message*. Right now, it is practically impossible to do, because one can’t know the commit object name in advance. However, once the tree object name is known, it’s easy to include in the commit message.

How practical would it be to implement this feature? How bad could it be, if some unrelated commits with the same tree would be skipped unintentionally by git-blame as a result?

Regards,
Amir
