Configuration

Add a file named .git-rockstar to the top level of your git repo.
The contents are JSON with the following fields:

    ignore-dir          : a list of paths
                          "foo" will ignore foo/bar/baz but not bar/baz/foo

    ignore-file-pattern : a list of patterns
                          files matching pattern will be skipped

    ignore-revert       : 1 or 0, default is to ignore revert changes

    author-alias        : key/value pairs
                          attribute various author aliases to one user

    authors-to-skip     : a list of authors to ignore
                          useful to filter out auto-commits and build commits
