This allows git blame to ignore reformatting changes and instead
to show the previous commit that changed the line.
To avoid manually building the list of commits this commit
adds a file with a list of reformatting commits. I might have
missed a few but this should be a good start. To use the file
use:
git blame --ignore-revs-file=.git-blame-ignore-revs file
or to automatically always use the file
git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
Naming the file .git-blame-ignore-revs is a convention.

Patch V2: Remove merge commit of the great formatting, add small
reminder how to use the feature at the top of the file
