I have many repos where I use .git-blame-ignore-revs,
but I cannot set it globally because then I get

fatal: could not open object name list: .git-blame-ignore-revs

so please make it either the default for `git blame` to check that file,
or add a "blame: ignoreMissingFile: true" option so I an set

[blame]
  ignoreRevsFile = .git-blame-ignore-revs
  ignoreMissingFile: true

and can use this feature without constantly having to think about it

Did that second set of patches ever go anywhere? It seems similar to
what Junio proposed in the first linked thread and possibly worth
resurrecting. (A log --grep :(optional) didn't find anything.)
