I like the output of "git show <tag>" much better than current one
(where I sometimes fall back on "git cat-file -p <tag>").

This part (above) is RFC, especially the 'incremental blame' patch,
which is in flux.

Well, perhaps except 'time to generate page' (aka. 'timed' feature),
but even this still have some things (like name of feature enabling
this behavior: currently 'named', or unconditional requiring
Time::HiRes if it exists even if it is not needed).

This part is, I think, good now (after fixing embarassing but harmless
unquote_maybe() incident ;-)).  Junio had some questions about style
used, but it can be very easily fiddled with later, IMVHO.

This is I think good UI improvement.
