We want to leverage git blame --ignore-revs-file in our development workflows to effectively filter out large, non-functional commits (like automated code formatting or mass refactoring/renaming) from the blame history. This significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio when trying to understand code authorship.
We were wondering if this git config blame.ignoreRevsFile configuration (or the concept behind it) is applicable to the OpenGrok "Annotate" view?
Specifically, if we define .git-blame-ignore-revs files within our Git repositories and set the blame.ignoreRevsFile config at a repository level, would OpenGrok's Annotate feature automatically pick up and respect these ignored revisions when displaying the history for a line of code?
