key prerequisite is to make sure we don't screw history with the big reformat 
commits: I absolutely need to keep git blame provide useful feedback.

it seems git blame --ignore-revs in Git 2.23 does what we need:
https://michaelheap.com/git-ignore-rev/

Does anybody have experience with this and its support in different extended 
tools, like GitHub 
https://github.blog/changelog/2022-03-24-ignore-commits-in-the-blame-view-beta/ 
or IDEs?

I'd prefer we test on one non-sensitive small Git repo before doing such a 
change in the important ones

Regards,

Hervé
