Suggest using .git-blame-ignore-revs when adopting ktfmt #651
Description
Git has --ignore-revs-file option that allows skipping particular commits during git blame.
By convention, GitHub expects a root .git-blame-ignore-revs file to be used as --ignore-revs-file, as well as GitLab, Black [also] recommends using it.
It would be nice to recommend this approach in the README, both for formatter adopters and for backwards-incompatible changes in the formatter (e.g. #293)

Unfortunately, IntelliJ doesn't seem to respect this convention (yet), and console git won't do it anyway, so
git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revsis inevitable suggestion
