git blame fails -- looks like the git command is incorrect

[kevinmcgill]

FYI. If my project contains a .git-blame-ignore-revs file then I see the error outlined above, if I remove the file and relaunch Neovim everything works as expected.

Ahh thank you for that. Looks like the --ignore-revs-file option is in the wrong place. I think this patch would fix it, but would need to figure out how to get my neovim to point at the custom version of this plugin to actually test it. If no one else submits a PR first I'll try to find some time to figure that out when i get the chance.

@tkinz27 one of the ways if to fork this repo, make a change in your fork and point the package manager to your forked repo.

@kevinmcgill indeed this looks like a root cause for this
