For what it's worth, the blame-tree implementation that this came from
has evolved significantly since it was originally written in 2011. Most
recently Stolee and I worked on a version that uses changed-path Bloom
filters to narrow the search, passing un-blamed paths to their parents
at each level of the traversal.

I wonder if it would be easier to start from scratch with the modern
implementation rather than land this one and try to build on top of it.

Thanks,
Taylor
