Sadly, I don't think either of you can really do much about the fact that
annotate/blame is simply the wrong model for git.
The war _I_d like to see is the GUI thing which does the "show when this
section changed last" by following the history down only so far that the
selected section shows up in the diff against the most current thing.
THAT is what I want. It also fits the git model much better, since you
generally don't have to go back all the way.
Somebody? "Here's a nickel saying you can't do it!" (if somebody needs the
motivation ;)
