That would require parsing the file and understanding that any
compliance failures associated with a given commit should be
suppressed. But that seems decidedly nontrivial to me. I can easily
think of (admittedly somewhat contrived) scenarios where it's
basically impossible to make this work due to transitive dependencies
across commits.
I suspect that any practical approach to solving this problem will
have to involve ignore files that look somewhat like a Valgrind
suppression file. It'll have to be based on symbol names, plus
possibly a specific ABI breakage type.
