    git-mfc: Add an ignore-list feature
    
    Commit hashes listed in ~/.git-mfc-ignore are not listed in output of
    git-mfc --dangling or --pending.  This is handy for silencing output
    about commits that are tagged for MFC or as fixing another commit, but
    which were not MFCed for some reason or other.
