I'll probably start with finding identifiers and typenames that will conflict after the naming scheme change and rename them so that they won't conflict.

After that, I think I can create a mechanical change to rename variables to see how it will look like.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB"><div class="gmail-m_2770133802124160917gmail-m_-4967608389964707345gmail-m_-5075167384395705213m_6014060592539761735gmail-m_2357972737193542758WordSection1"><div> <br class="gmail-m_2770133802124160917gmail-m_-4967608389964707345webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">-Michael<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">[1] <a href="https://llvm.org/docs/Proposals/VariableNames.html#provisional-plan" target="_blank">

<br>
Git is on its way to learning how to ignore commits, allowing us to do variable renaming and other small refactorings without breaking git blame.<br>
<br>
It's like git-hyper-blame [1] but significantly more powerful as it uses fuzzy matching to match lines, including lines that may have been split or joined.<br>
<br>
A preview release of Git with this new feature is at: <a href="https://github.com/mplatings/git/releases/tag/ignore-rev" target="_blank">
https://github.com/mplatings/git/releases/tag/ignore-rev</a><br>
<br>
Some of you have told me that you already have to spend time running git blame multiple times to look past uninteresting commits so I'd love for you to give this feature a try and see if it helps you. Your feedback will be very valuable.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
-Michael<br>
