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.
