Description

Use case: I am renaming a large old file (shows up as an add and delete in git) without changing any of the content. Rubocop comments on the PR with 400+ issues in the old file.

It would be nice to be able to add `[no complaints]` to the commit message and have rubocop ignore those changes in its comment.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the Robocop commenter reads commit messages and selects changed lines; done means a commit containing `[no complaints]` prevents comments for the renamed or otherwise ignored changes.
