No, I want "git blame" to tell me where a line of code came from,
rather than who the last turkey was who did some coding style
cleanup.

I don't want something interactive, I want a command line I can
type in which gives me the answer. "git blame" on the surface
can do this, and most of the time it serves my needs, but as soon
as rabid cleanups enter into the picture, the tool becomes useless.
