One approach which might work is where you hover your mouse over a
line, and it pops up a tiny window with the blame information if the
mouse remains stationary for more than a second or two.
Another thing which would be really useful is where the lines that
have been changed in the last n commits (where n is probably between
3-5) are highlighted using different colors. That way you can see
what was changed recently, which is often what you are most interested
in. (As in, what changed recently that might have caused this file to
get all screwed up?)
