In "blame A..B" output, not all boundaries are commit A when the
history is not linear, so I was afraid that would confuse the
users ("these lines with empty SHA-1 do not match what I have in
A -- what's going on???").
But I think it is Ok if the behaviour is under a separate option.

That's a good point. It probably should be on by default and
controlled by the same log.showroot configuration.
