+--ignore-rev <rev>::
+	Ignore changes made by the revision when assigning blame, as if the
+	change never happened.  Lines that were changed or added by an ignored
+	commit will be blamed on the previous commit that changed that line or
+	nearby lines.  This option may be specified multiple times to ignore
+	more than one revision.  If the `blame.markIgnoredLines` config option
+	is set, then lines that were changed by an ignored commit and attributed to
+	another commit will be marked with a `?` in the blame output.  If the
+	`blame.markUnblamableLines` config option is set, then those lines touched
+	by an ignored commit that we could not attribute to another revision are
+	marked with a '*'.
+
+--ignore-revs-file <file>::
+	Ignore revisions listed in `file`, which must be in the same format as an
+	`fsck.skipList`.  This option may be repeated, and these files will be
+	processed after any files specified with the `blame.ignoreRevsFile` config
+	option.  An empty file name, `""`, will clear the list of revs from
+	previously processed files.
