In the blame view, revisions are excluded only if the commit introduced new lines. If the commit was the last to modify a line, it will still appear in blame.

I believe this description is kind of reversed! Revisions are only excluded if the commit modified lines; if the commit introduced a new line it will still appear in blame, I believe?

@marcustyphoon I talked to the person who had that bit added into the article, and he agreed that it's probably inaccurate. His suggestion was this:

In the blame view, revisions are excluded if the commit introduced new lines or modified existing lines. If the commit was the last to modify a line, it will still appear in blame. You’ll see an “Ignoring revisions in .git-blame-ignore-revs” banner indicating that some commits may be hidden.

If you want to open a PR with that revision, feel free, or someone else could jump in and do it. 👍
