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.
Probably I have misunderstood the request, but in qgit you can (from about one month ago) mouse select some lines in file content then press the filter button and see only the revisions that modify the selected text. Also selected text is highlighted so to better view differences among revisions. It is not clear to me in what the requested feature differs from this implementation.
