A tag that indicates 'This commit was part of a mass change' (that doesn't change the build product) doesn't seem like pollution in the commit history to me, but I don't really care too much.

I imagine this could also be handled 'manually' by someone who could temporarily disable the build infrastructure, make the mass change, and then bring the build infrastructure back up.
