There would need to be an initial entry at the time the file is
created, which would presumably point to some commit shortly before
the .0 version stamp is applied (or maybe we'd choose to do it around
rc1). The mockup should include that.
I'd be slightly inclined to have just one non-comment line, which
is the active reference hash value, and all the rest be comments.
The way you have it here requires the reading code to be smart
about end-of-line comments, which is code complexity we don't need
and doesn't seem amazingly legible either. OTOH, the precedent of
.git-blame-ignore-revs may be worth following regardless of our
personal druthers.
