This is a very good idea -- so good, in fact, that Pi Song sent patches
to implement it a quarter ago.  There were a few issues which prevented
them from being merged unchanged.  Junio merged an initial cleanup patch
into pu instead ("blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure",
97926c6c).  Work on the remaining parts seems to have stalled, though.
Pi Song?
