Honestly, as useful as it is, it'd be so much better if we had better / more contextual diffing. So often it is just spams with the last styling/linting erasing useful context.

It's still text file/line based, having something that can ignore style changes and linting would be great, even being able to see properly when a function/method was first added and view the changes to that function/method, rather than just lines of text.

Semantic diffing would be great, but until then you want an ignore revs file: https://www.git-scm.com/docs/git-blame#Documentation/git-bla...

I wish for something just slightly smarter than the current ignore revs format. For instance, I generally try to prefix all automated tool based commits with a wrench emoji. I realize you can automate building an ignore revs file by for instance grepping git log for that prefix, but it would be nice for an "ignore prefixes" as much as an "ignore revs" option.
