Heya,

Contrary to what one would expect, the '--porcelain' switch to 'git
blame' makes the output suitable for... plumbing use? As far as 'git
blame builtin-blame.c' tells me (gotta love the recursion there) it
has been this way since cee7f245 when the option was introduced. What
is the rationale behind this? Is it called '--porcelain' because it is
meant to be used by the plumbing to create new porcelain? That seems a
bit far-fetched though...

Cheers,

Sverre Rabbelier
