Re: [platform-ui-dev] Anyone mind if I run the code formatter onjface?

[Stefan Xenos <sxenos@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Blame parent commit is a feature that lets you see what the annotations looked like before a big change like a reformat, so you can identify the author of a line even across large diffs. It's a context menu action in "git gui blame" and it is different from "git blame -w", which ignores whitespace.

The link you attached seems to be discussing "git blame -w".

I would prefer you wouldn't run formatter on existing code. I do not plan any big change, but this would make git blame annotations diff useless and this is a major issue.
