Nice! Is there a way to check this into a repository (a la .gitigore)?

You can specify a file with of such commits with --ignore-revs-file, and of course check in that file. Naming that file .git-blame-ignore-revs seems to be a convention I've seen more than once.

Still need to specify the file yourself, so hopefully someone can point out the missing magic to have git pull in .git-blame-ignore-revs on its own.

That's what the blame.ignoreRevsFile [0] config option is for.

Yes but you can't check set git config from a repo unfortunately because some things in it would cause security issues.

banana_giraffe was asking for a way to set it up automatically so users don't have to do anything.

A shell alias?
