The problem is that this revision will override all the previous ones in the “blame” output so it needs to be explicitly ignored. See a great link elsewhere in the thread on how to deal with that in newer versions of git.

Yes, as I said?

My point was that the user doesn't matter (vs. anything else about the commit) to me in any context that I see it.

And then I mentioned without reiterating the advice about hiding the commit from blame just as you did.

In any context where I see "OJFord committed 'Autoformat with black'" for this, it's not 'OJFord' that's the problem IMO.

Git blame has a feature just for this `git blame -w -M`. -w ignores white space changes and -M isn't really necessary but will ignore moved lines
