Fredrik,

Three comments on "git-blame":

 - you should use "-u -U 0" instead of "-u0" to avoid warnings from some 
   versions of GNU diff

 - Please default to HEAD so that you don't need to say it.

 - What I'd actually want to see is blame for a certain group of lines. 
   Ie, I'd like to see

	git-blame --line=50-56 filename

   which only shows those 7 lines. That would be wonderful for a visual 
   interface where you could mark off a few lines and say "follow these 
   backwards" kind of thing, and should make it more efficient than trying 
   to resolve the _whole_ file.

Hmm?

		Linus
