Hi all, I'm facing an issue with the use of "git blame" which shows commits marked to be ignored. We have a .git-blame-ignore-revs file that can be retrievable at <https://github.com/InterNetNews/inn/blob/main/.git-blame-ignore-revs>. The Git command line I'm using is: git blame --ignore-revs-file .git-blame-ignore-revs radius.c Here is an extract where commit 36944f2b16 appears at line 59, though it should be ignored (present in .git-blame-ignore-revs): 8e3e288fec (Marc G. Fournier 1998-12-29 13:19:05 +0000 50) int radport; 8e3e288fec (Marc G.

It should have been d65e228465 which already had that line, as it can be seen in the commit (line 53 at that time): https://github.com/InterNetNews/inn/blob/d65e228465700ff044b75aecacb7062d2a1250f9/authprogs/radius.c The result of that command is the same as the one GitHub shows; you can therefore find the whole ouput here: https://github.com/InterNetNews/inn/blame/main/authprogs/radius.c Commit 36944f2b16 is mentioned at lines 59, 129, 144, 293, etc. though present in .git-blame-ignore-revs. Yet, that very commit is correctly ignored at other places of the same file. Other files and other commits in the project are also affected. I can give more examples if needed. Is it the expected behaviour of "git blame"? Is there a reason for these commits to appear in some portions of the blame output?
