git hyper-blame: Added automatically ignoring revs from a file.
Added --ignore-file argument, so you can specify ignored commits in a file rather than as raw command-line arguments. Also, automatically searches for a file called .git-blame-ignore-revs, which is automatically used as an ignore list by default. Also, specifying an unknown revision (either on the command line or in a file) now generates a warning, not an error. Notes on some decisions: - The file is called .git-blame-ignore-revs (not mentioning hyper-blame) because we may use the same list in tools other than hyper-blame in the future. - We look at the *currently checked out* version of .git-blame-ignore-revs (not the version at the specified revision) for consistency with .git-ignore. Because we only expect revisions to be added (not deleted), it should be fine to use an ignore list from a newer version than the revision being blamed. - We considered using git notes for the ignore list so that you could add a revision to the ignore list without needing a follow-up CL. However, there are some problems with this approach. git notes is not automatically synced with git clone/pull. Also the Chromium infra tools (Reitveld, CQ) are not set up to allow modification of git notes, nor are changes to git notes subject to OWNERS checks. Using a regular file ensures all users synced to a particular revision are using the same ignore list.
