Feature Description

Git has the option to ignore specific revisions in its blame view. This is e.g. useful for hiding automatic refactorings or bulk-reformattings from the history (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-blameignoreRevsFile). It would be nice if Gitea would honour such file(s) in its blame view.

While there is no "standard" file name for a repository-wide file for this feature, the name .git-blame-ignore-revs has been adopted by most projects (and is supported by GitHub):

GitLab would also use that filename when implementing this feature:

As an example, here is a blame view which uses the file:

https://github.com/apache/maven/blame/master/maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/classrealm/DefaultClassRealmManager.java
