I would propose that we treat it as an optional feature rather than
striving for it to include a complete list of all "uninteresting"
commits at all times.

Even if it were to include only a proportion of some of the latest
"uninteresting" cleanups, that could already be of help.  When someone
stumbles into a commit that gets in the way of their git blaming they
could also consider adding it.

I don't think anything in particular needs doing, since the sha-1 will
stay the same after a merge.  Or am I missing something?
