Subject: patch 9.2.0836: filetype: .git-blame-ignore-revs file is not recognized
X-Git-Tag: v9.2.0836^0
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a8d5be92845df7fc0e9e4399545bd5c01bba536a;p=thirdparty%2Fvim.git

patch 9.2.0836: filetype: .git-blame-ignore-revs file is not recognized

Problem:  filetype: .git-blame-ignore-revs file is not recognized
Solution: Detect .git-blame-ignore-revs file as gitrevlist filetype,
          include syntax and filetype plugins (Fionn Fitzmaurice)

A Git revision list is

> a list of object names (i.e. one unabbreviated SHA-1 per line)...,
> comments (#), empty lines, and any leading and trailing whitespace are
> ignored.

(from Git's fsck.skipList documentation).

The default output of git rev-list will match this. It is also suitable
as input to git blame --ignore-revs-file.

This adds filetype detection matching .git-blame-ignore-revs files,
syntax highlighting and basic filetype settings.

closes: #20702
