/**
 * Use {@code DiffIgnore} annotation to mark certain properties
 * or classes as ignored by JaVers.
 *
 * Property level
 * Add {@code DiffIgnore} to fields or getters
 * (depending on selected {@link org.javers.core.MappingStyle})
 * to mark them as ignored.
 * When used on the property level,
 * {@code DiffIgnore} is equivalent to the {@code javax.persistence.Transient} annotation.
 *
 * Class level
 * Add {@code DiffIgnore} to classes to mark them as ignored. 

 * When a given class is ignored, all properties
 * (found in other classes) with this class as a return type are ignored.
 *
 * 


 * Warning: {@code DiffIgnore} can't be mixed with {@code DiffInclude} in the same class.
 *
 * @see DiffInclude
