+1. I was thinking of suggesting the same thing myself, for the same reasons.
This solution is a good start, but it does leave one remaining
problem: commits from before the introduction of
.git-blame-ignore-revs still won't have the file. There was actually a
patch for git that tried to address the problem directly, but it
didn't go anywhere. Maybe just backpatching the file is good enough.
