I already waited for ages for this war to begin! 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 ;) Linus
